6 reasons to choose API Pneumatic for your pneumatic products

Here at API Pneumatic UK, we’re passionate about what we do. We truly believe that our products, service, pricing and flexibility make us hard to beat in the world of pneumatics. If you’re looking for a same day pneumatic cylinder, stainless steel spool valve or a control panel installation, API Pneumatic UK has what you need and more. Here are just a few reasons why we think you should choose API for all your pneumatic solutions.

1. The fastest turnarounds in the business

As well as our rapid control panel assemblies, API Pneumatic UK can guarantee 90-minute builds on ISO 15552 cylinders (even for non-standard stroke lengths) and same day piston rod modifications. “We’re all about speed,” says Tim. “Often people specify competitor products, but when they can’t get it quick enough that soon goes out the window. When they need something quick, that’s when they come to API Pneumatic UK. They know that we’ll deliver.”

2. The very best customer service as standard

How many other companies can you think of that offer free same day builds, free UK-wide site visits and completely flexible solutions. “We know that we’re not at the end of the market where our name is synonymous with all pneumatics,” Tim continues. “But we’re a niche manufacturer and we don’t want to be the biggest player in the market. We simply want to make sure that every customer has the right experience with us.”

3. More than 20 years of pneumatics experience

API Pneumatic UK has been supplying high quality pneumatic cylinders since 1996. Those 20+ years of experience and expertise really do count, with API UK gaining a sterling reputation and a loyal customer base over the years. “People tend to find out about us when they haven’t got the service from the larger manufacturers and that’s where we fit in,” says Tim. “We’ve got core customers and the people who tend to hear about us have heard it from word of mouth, and hopefully it’s been through a good experience.”

4. Extensive onshore stock-holding here in the UK

Whilst many of the competitors have been busy destocking and offshoring, API Pneumatic UK has headed in the opposite direction; maintaining UK-based stock and engineering talent. Tim says: “We keep in the stuff that people won’t keep in and in the quantities that they won’t keep in. A lot of stocking now by the competitors is in Europe: France, Belgium and Germany. They’ve de-stocked in the UK for European hubs and that’s where we score highly.”

5. Technical experts who can answer your questions

Another benefit of choosing API UK is the technical engineering knowledge within our team, which encompasses many decades’ worth of collective engineering experience. “We can do the job and answer people’s technical questions,” continues Tim. “Customers don’t have to give us a part number to get an answer. We offer advice based on the technical requirement, and that’s the difference between us and a lot of the catalogue sellers. With API Pneumatic UK, we’ll give you an answer straight away. If it’s to do with pneumatics anyway!”

6. Feasible price tags for unfeasibly good products

One of API Pneumatic UK’s major selling points, at least we like to think so, is our honest and fair pricing policies. With free same day builds and site visits, competitive pneumatic cylinder prices and stainless steel options, as well as control panels that are up to 30% cheaper than the competitors, we punch well above our weight in terms of passing on excellent value to our customers. “We offer an honest product, at the right price, at the right time,” concludes Tim.
