Compressed air and vacuum piping systems for Color Communications

After recently moving into a new purpose built facility in Auckland, Color Communications engaged Industrial Air Systems to design, supply and install a new compressed air ring main and vacuum reticulation system to run the many production machines in their new factory. As a valued supplier and service provider for over five years, there was a good working relationship between the two companies and our team was able to understand their production requirements without any restrictions.

Color Communications Inc. Australasia Ltd was created to service the growing paint and coating industries in New Zealand, Australia, and Asia, and is now a leading supplier to all markets. They are one of the earliest innovators in environmentally friendly paint technology for use in colour marketing tools.

Color Communications faced significant challenges at the start of its project to expand production capacity. Their existing premises were limiting growth, and moving to a new, purpose-built facility was essential. This move required not only additional space but also a new compressed air and vacuum system to support their operations.

A major challenge arose when the timeline for transitioning between facilities was extremely tight, with only 1 to 2 weeks allocated for installing essential services in the new building. While they initially considered other suppliers for the compressed air and vacuum reticulation system, none could provide a comprehensive "turn-key" solution within the strict timeframe.

Industrial Air Systems was already a trusted supplier, having serviced them for over five years. Color Communications valued this strong working relationship and trusted Industrial Air Systems to deliver flexible, efficient solutions. Our familiarity with Color Communications' production needs and willingness to coordinate with other trades ensured the project could be completed on time, making our team the ideal partner for this time-sensitive transition.

Color Communications now has a purpose built compressed air and Vacuum system to run their bigger factory, with enough flow potential built into the system to allow for some future growth, machines, or droppers further down the track.
