Air that works harder. Industry that never stops.
From compressors to cylinders, we engineer the full pneumatic chain for South African industry — generation, treatment, control and motion. With GPN, you don't get a story; you get a solution.
Real results.
Not fancy words.
In 1978, General Pneumatics was born out of a bold idea: to build pneumatic solutions that work harder and smarter for industries.
We've grown by solving real problems for real industries — from automotive to pharmaceuticals — with one goal: boost productivity, reduce downtime.
The complete pneumatic chain, under one roof.
Generate it, clean it, control it, move it. Whatever stage of the air system needs solving, GPN has the range — engineered to last.
Air Compressors
Industrial screw, oil-free & scroll systems, rotary vane compressors and vacuum pumps — the source of reliable, efficient compressed air.
Air Treatment & Control
Air preparation units, specialised filtration and valves — clean, regulated, precisely-controlled air that protects everything downstream.
Motion & Distribution
Air cylinders, hoses and pneumatic accessories — the muscle and connective tissue that turns compressed air into work on the floor.
We're not here to sell you an idea. We're here to deliver a solution — and to keep it running long after installation.
