What is Sullivan?

Sullivan Machinery Company was established in 1868, making it one of the earliest and most influential manufacturers of rock drilling machinery and industrial air systems in American history. Originating in New Hampshire before expanding production to Chicago and Indiana, Sullivan developed pneumatic equipment that helped build major railways, mines, and tunnels across the country.

Over generations of industrial evolution, including its eventual union into the modern Sullivan-Palatek organization, standalone Sullivan-branded compressors earned a lasting reputation on job sites. These machines are recognized for their heavy structural steel frames, durable rotary screw assemblies, and simple mechanical configurations that allow field technicians to keep air flowing without relying on complex electronics.
