The company will showcase how the portfolio delivers superior performance while helping rental and construction customers reduce operating costs and meet evolving sustainability expectations.
“Innovation for us starts with listening to our customers,” said Hideki Fujimoto, president and CEO of Hitachi Global Air Power. “We’re expanding our portfolio of reliable, durable, and high-performing electric portable air compressors to meet a wide range of customer needs.”
He said at the same time, Hitachi continues to invest in and advance its diesel offerings to ensure it has the right solutions for today’s applications and future demands.
Hitachi Global Air Power will host a product showcase and presentation highlighting the case for electric portable air compressors, including sustainability benefits and customer insights, at the Sullair booth at the 2026 ConExpo show on March 3 at 3 p.m.
The event will include remarks from Roger Adkins, vice president air compressor business manager at Ring Power, a customer and co-innovator of the Sullair E1035H.
“For us, working with Hitachi Global Air Power to develop electric portable compressed air solutions was about solving real world challenges in direct response to our customers,” Adkins said. “It’s not just about performance anymore, it’s the total package: reliability, performance, efficiency, and sustainability. Our customers are asking, and we are happy to help deliver the solutions they need to get the work done.”
The Sullair E1035H was unveiled at the 2023 ConExpo, featuring many patent-pending elements including swing-out coolers for easy cleaning and maintenance and condensate management technology. It also was designed for better user safety and with the Sullair-exclusive Electronic Spiral Valve.
Two years later, Hitachi Global Air carried forward much of the technology into the smaller Sullair E425H in 2025. The E425H offers 425 CFM at 150 psi of compressed air power for customers in the rental and construction markets for a wider range of applications.
In addition, the company launched the Sullair OFE1550 oil free electric portable air compressor in 2025. It delivers 1550 CFM at 125 PSI of Class 0 oil free air, ideal for applications such as oil and gas and as back-up plant air in any application where air purity is critical.
Like past models, the OFE1550 boasts customer-forward features including easy maintenance, a simple start-up with the Wye-Delta starter, and enhanced safety by keeping electric connections and discharge components away from the operator.
It also features a smart auto-lubrication system that automatically delivers the ideal amount of lubrication to the motor, maximizing performance and protecting against premature wear.
“Our customers are facing rising energy and operating costs and tighter emission and sustainability requirements,” said Jerel Cole, global portable product manager at Hitachi Global Air Power. “Our next generation electric air compressors were developed to meet real operational demands delivering the performance and air power our customers expect while helping them to operate more efficiently and responsibly.”
