About Us
KELTEC is a designer, manufacturer, and distributor of OEM-equivalent filtration and component solutions supporting critical industrial fluid power and reliability applications. Our products serve compressed air, air treatment, hydraulics, refrigeration, gas, and vacuum systems, helping customers improve uptime and reduce operating costs.
We offer system solutions both in and outside of the compressor and continue to provide reliable, cost-effective alternatives to OEM products without compromising quality or performance.
At KELTEC, we believe in challenging the status quo.
Playing it safe just isn’t our style. We bring bold ideas to the table, but we do it with a down-to-earth, approachable attitude. Our voice strikes a balance: technical when precision matters, conversational when clarity connects. We’re here to break through the noise with enthusiasm that doesn’t go overboard and confidence grounded in humility.
Whether it’s an innovative solution or a simple conversation, we’ll meet you where you are — ready to deliver, ready to inspire.
Our Journey
KELTEC was founded in 1982 by Ed Kaiser, Sr., formerly an engineer of the Air Maze Corporation for over 20 years. With initial production of air-oil separators, KELTEC eventually added air-intake filters, oil filters, coalescing filters, and synthetic compressor lubricants. Through a series of mergers (Technolab in 2002, Chicopee Engineering in 2016, and Air Supply Company in 2019), KELTEC has grown to become the largest manufacturer of air-oil separators in North America.
Today, KELTEC continues to invest in operational growth and customer support, including the transition into our new facility designed to support expanded manufacturing capacity, improved logistics, and future growth across multiple industrial markets.
