About Viair: The Industry Standard in DC Air Compressors

Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Irvine, California, Viair Corporation has spent more than 25 years earning its reputation as the leading manufacturer of fractional horsepower, oil-less DC air compressors for automotive, industrial, and specialty markets. Whether you're airing up after a trail run, managing an air suspension system on a custom build, or keeping a shop supplied with reliable compressed air, Viair has engineered a solution for it.

What sets Viair apart is the depth and breadth of their compressor lineup. Their 12-volt and 24-volt compressors have become the recognized industry standard for automotive aftermarket applications worldwide, and their units are deployed in some of the harshest environments on the planet — from arctic cold to desert heat. Viair's direct-drive motor technology is a key design advantage: by eliminating the gear-driven components that introduce friction and wear, their compressors deliver quieter, more reliable performance over the long haul.

Built for Every Pneumatic Need

Viair's product range spans the full spectrum of mobile and stationary air needs. For drivers and outdoor adventurers, their lineup of Tire Air Compressor Kits offers portable, battery-powered inflation that's fast and capable — from compact units that plug into a cigarette lighter to heavy-duty portable compressors that can handle oversized off-road tires with ease. These kits typically include gauges, hoses, and inflation accessories so you're ready to go right out of the box.

For those running aftermarket or factory air ride setups, Viair's Air Suspension Compressors are the go-to choice. Engineered to deliver high pressures with a 100% duty cycle, these onboard compressors keep air bags and air springs operating consistently — whether you're leveling a load or dialing in your ride height on the fly. Models like the 444C and 450C dual-compressor configurations are popular among custom builders and air suspension enthusiasts who need both speed and reliability.

Viair also serves the professional and DIY workshop with a lineup of Shop Air Compressors. These units are available in 12V and 24V configurations, CE-certified and IP-rated where applicable, and built to meet the rigorous demands of job sites, garages, and industrial applications ranging from mining and agriculture to first responders and aviation support.
