EXAIR’s New Collaboration with Canadian Distributor

As of July 1, 2025, John Brooks Company is officially EXAIR’s exclusive distributor in Canada. Let’s discuss who John Brooks is and how this collaboration will benefit you, the customer! Our goal is to create a more personal experience for our customers in Canada through more local contact and to make it easier to do business there.

Who is John Brooks?

Since 1938, John Brooks has been solving fluid handling challenges for their customers through the people and products they stand behind. They take pride in their legacy as an independently owned, fourth-generation business that puts their people first. Committed to creating a culture of excellence by empowering their team to grow, building meaningful connections with their customers, and developing lasting partnerships with suppliers. They deliver personalized customer support, industry-leading expertise, and the highest-quality products, engineered solutions, and services.

 Their portfolio includes pumps, spraying equipment, filtration products, valves, and custom-engineered systems for the simplest and most complicated industrial and municipal applications. They provide end-to-end support to help you identify, acquire, engineer and maintain high-quality fluid handling systems of all scales that are built to last –without compromise.

They will be the “Boots on the ground” for all EXAIR products! And we know they do a good job as they have worked with our sister company, BETE, as their exclusive Canadian distributor!

How is it going to help you, the customer?

Here at EXAIR we value the interactions with our customers, and we want them to be fast and information-filled to support you in selecting or using our products. And we are quite proud of our level of service and support. But having feet on the ground and stock of our products in Canada is an amazing opportunity to increase support for our customers.

If you have a question about a product and how it works or how it can help your process, please give one of our Application Engineers a call. We are happy to help specify a product and loop John Brooks in to provide a quote or do a customer visit!

In today’s market, many companies are global and have plants and facilities worldwide.  If details like cost savings, safety, increased productivity, problem-solving, and energy efficiency were shared, it would be very beneficial for everyone.  It can help to grow profits, protect employees, improve throughput, and save energy, which will help to protect the environment.  Since EXAIR is a leader in these areas with compressed air products, we can help you and your affiliates with pneumatic solutions.

EXAIR sells direct in the U.S.A. and Canada, and we have over 50 distributors located throughout the rest of the world.  EXAIR has structured our world-wide presence by country on our International Map located at EXAIR.com on the banner of our website.  It is simple to use.  To find a distributor, click on this link, International.  Fill in your name, email, and the country in which you wish to find a distributor.  We also ask if you would like to receive news about EXAIR products in the future.  The news will include new products, special notices, or featured products.  If you wish to receive this monthly update, then click “Yes”.  If we do not have a distributor in your area, EXAIR does have an International Department that can assist you directly. 

There are many ways to save money within your industry.  And one way is to use your compressed air efficiently.  If you or your affiliates use compressed air to cool, dry, clean, convey, vacuum, or remove static electricity, EXAIR can improve these processes.  And if you have locations outside the U.S. and Canada, we can still help you.  You can contact us directly or visit our International Map.  You may find someone near you that can speak your language and discuss the values that EXAIR can provide.  And if we do not have anyone in that country, and you wish to speak to us about becoming an EXAIR Distributor, you can contact us HERE.
