V-Major Marine Series

CompAir was a British-German compressor manufacturer (Sidcup/Simmern) that manufactured marine compressors until approximately 2010. The V-Major Marine series was widespread on British and North European ships. CompAir is now part of Gardner Denver/Ingersoll Rand, but has abandoned the marine compressor sector. Still in service on older ships, service only available through independent workshops.
