LOMMEL – With more than 800 trailers per week, Eduard Trailers is the largest trailer factory in the Benelux. In the modern production halls at Kristalpark in Lommel, everything revolves around efficiency and reliability. And behind that success story lies an invisible but crucial force: the compressed air installation from Air Center Best.
When Eduard Trailers relocated from Balen to Lommel four years ago, the team started with a blank slate. “We wanted a compressed air system that would grow along with our ambitions,” says Rudi Vanherck, Facility Manager at Eduard. “Air Center Best understood that perfectly. They designed the entire system: an efficient ring line, strategically placed tapping points and two powerful Atlas Copco compressors.”
The result? A flawlessly functioning system that runs day and night alongside the production process. “The collaboration with Air Center Best goes extremely smoothly,” says Vanherck. “They’re a smaller company, but that’s exactly why they act quickly. We have direct contact with the technicians who know our installation inside out. No long waiting times, just direct solutions.”
Maintenance and repairs also follow the same principle of speed and reliability. “We have an annual maintenance contract, and if a reel breaks down, it’s repaired within a week. That way we never come to a standstill,” Vanherck explains.
At Eduard Trailers, continuity is sacred. “For us, the compressed air must never fail. It is literally the heart of the factory. Thanks to Aircenter Best, we know our production keeps running, week in, week out.”
What began as a technical collaboration has grown into a partnership built on trust, speed and craftsmanship. Air Center Best proves that a small team with the right expertise can play a key role in the production of thousands of trailers per month.
At Eduard Trailers, the largest trailer factory in the Benelux, they are certain: without compressed air, everything grinds to a halt — but thanks to Air Center Best, that never happens.
