A company based on family values and with over 20 years of experience in the compressed air industry, we are a trusted partner to many. The question is are you one of them?Field Air Compressors (Pty) Ltd., formerly Field Service and Factory Maintenance Trust unofficially began in 1991 when Abe Botes would carry out servicing on compressed air and other equipment on a part-time basis.In 1992 Mr Botes officially registered the business. This is when "Field Service and Factory Maintenance" or FSFM officially began. In those days, FSFM was a limited operation, consisting solely of Abe, his tool box and a single vehicle which served as his portable workshop. The admin side or "the books" were left in the hands of Abe's wife, Gaye, where she would record all the businesses transactions in a manual invoice book and an analysis book. Through many hours of dedication and hard work, FSFM began to slowly expand and the single service vehicle transformed into a 70-square-metre workshop and office.In 1995, to facilitate the company's growth, a mini factory was acquired, giving rise to FSFM's new premises, Unit 19 at Davlen Park (190 square metres) in Pietermaritzburg.It was in 2003, that 12 Halstead Road was purchased, this being our head office and premises in Pietermaritzburg. With approximately 600 square metres of factory space and an office block, the property had the makings of something special.FSFM continued its growth in the compressed air, factory maintenance, and general engineering industries. Driven by Abe's son Sheldon, FSFM become official importers and distributors of ABAC air compressors in South Africa in 2013.In 2016, Field Service and Factory Maintenance Trust was converted to Field Air Compressor (Pty) Ltd. It is now being run by a team of directors with the founders Abe and Gaye still involved. As the company continues to grow and develop, and it can only be said that the future looks bright. In 2016 the official distributorship and partnership agreements with Chicago Pneumatic Industrial Air Compressors as well as Chicago Pneumatic Tools were formalised and the horizons for the company have dramatically broadened since.
