This Year’s Mass Plastics Show
Northboro, MA – (3-21-2005) Hope Air Systems, a member company of The Hope Group, today announced that it will be exhibiting again this year at the annual Mass Plastics trade show on March 30 and 31 in Fitchburg, MA. The exhibit will be held at the Best Western Royal Plaza Trade Center. Annually, the largest plastics trade show in New England, there will be 250 exhibitors hosting over 6,000 show attendees.

Hope Air Systems will be featuring its new line of air compressors from Kaeser Compressors. Hope Air recently added the new line to its growing industrial product line. Featuring rotary air compressors from 3 horsepower to over 600 horsepower, Kaeser Compressors awarded Hope Air Systems with a distributorship covering the six-state New England region.

“The Mass Plastics show will be our first opportunity to publicly demonstrate our new air compressor product line,” said Pat Kelly, Hope Air Systems Sales Manager. “We are pleased that our first public presentation of the new air compressor line will be at the Mass Plastics 2005 show. The plastic industry has been an important part of Hope Air System’s client base for over 40 years and we expect to continue our strong representation in that industry in the years to come,” he added.

Kaeser Compressors has over 2,900 employees worldwide and in addition to manufacturing facilities in Germany has a U.S. headquarters in Virginia that supports all domestic operations. Kaeser is noted for its stringent quality assurances and its quick delivery time for installations. “Our customers increasingly face time-critical installation, repair and refurbishment issues,” said Pat Kelly, Hope Air Sales Manager. “This move to Kaeser Compressors helps us with regard to all of these issues,” he added.

As a compliment to its rotary screw compressor line, Kaeser also offers a full line of compressor related equipment including refrigerated dryers, desiccant dryers, membrane dryers, condensate traps, aftercoolers, breathing air systems, compressor fluids, compressed air filters, vacuum screw packages, oil-less package compressors, portable compressors, variable frequency drive compressors, flow controllers, drain traps and other compressor accessories.
