Prevost: Compressed Air Specialists Since 1978

Prevost has been engineering compressed air and fluid distribution solutions since its founding in 1978 in Annecy-le-Vieux, France. What began as a bold vision to reinvent the air coupling has grown into a globally recognized brand with a presence in over 80 countries and a catalog of more than 7,000 products built to the highest standards of safety and performance. For automotive technicians, industrial maintenance teams, and construction professionals alike, Prevost has become synonymous with reliable, efficient compressed air systems.

A Legacy of Innovation in Compressed Air

Prevost's story starts with a breakthrough: the world's first push-button quick disconnect coupling, a design that fundamentally changed how air tools connect to their power source. That spirit of invention has never stopped. Prevost later introduced the first safety coupling to pass the ISO 4414 safety standard, and continues to develop exclusive, patented products through dedicated in-house R&D teams. Every product must pass a rigorous battery of tests — including connect-disconnect cycle life, burst pressure, vibration, leak testing, and severe impact testing — before it ever reaches the market.

From the Compressor to the Point of Use

What sets Prevost apart is its ability to supply the entire compressed air circuit, from the source to the tool in hand. Whether you're building out a professional shop or maintaining heavy-duty equipment, Prevost covers every link in the chain. Their flagship air tool couplers — including the celebrated prevoS1 line — allow one-handed, safe tool changes with a push-button action that eliminates dangerous hose whip and air bleed-off. These couplers are available in multiple connection profiles and thread sizes to suit virtually any pneumatic setup.

Keeping tools connected and air flowing cleanly depends just as much on the right air tool hoses. Prevost offers a range of flexible shop hoses, spiral hoses, and polyurethane tubing engineered to handle demanding daily use. Paired with the correct air tool hose fittings and air tool hose barbs, these hose solutions form a leak-free, optimized system that protects both equipment and energy consumption.

At the working end of any compressed air system, Prevost's air blow guns represent some of the most thoughtfully designed tools in the industry. The prevoS1 blow gun integrates directly with Prevost's quick-safety coupling, forming a seamless, leak-free union with a hermetically sealed body that resists contamination, impacts, and chemical exposure. The ergonomic design minimizes air consumption while maximizing control — a meaningful advantage in high-throughput shop environments.

Trusted Across Industries

Prevost's reach extends well beyond the auto shop. Their compressed air solutions serve automotive service bays, food processing plants, textile factories, woodworking facilities, and construction sites worldwide. Their U.S. operations are headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, ensuring dedicated support and product availability for North American customers. With decades of field-proven performance and a commitment to continuous improvement, Prevost remains one of the most trusted names in pneumatic equipment.
