IDEX Performance Pneumatics

The Power Behind Critical Flow Systems

IDEX Performance Pneumatics brings together the expertise of Gast, Airtech, and US Valve to help OEMs solve complex air, gas, vacuum, and fluid control challenges. We deliver the technologies, engineering support, and application knowledge needed to power critical systems around the world.

Three specialized businesses. One integrated engineering advantage.

Why IDEX Performance Pneumatics?

Stronger Together

The most challenging engineering problems rarely fit within a single product category. Applications often require pressure generation, vacuum control, airflow management, and precision fluid handling working together as one system.

IDEX Performance Pneumatics unites these complementary capabilities under a coordinated platform, giving customers access to broader expertise, deeper application knowledge, and more complete solutions.

The Power of Three

Three Technologies. One Advantage.

IDEX Performance Pneumatics combines industry-leading expertise across pressure, vacuum, airflow, and fluid control. Together, Gast, Airtech, and US Valve provide complementary technologies that help OEMs solve complex challenges more effectively.

Pressure & Vacuum Expertise

For more than a century, Gast has delivered trusted compressors, vacuum pumps, and air-moving technologies for medical, laboratory, environmental, and industrial applications where reliability is critical.

High-Flow Air Movement

Airtech specializes in regenerative and side-channel blower technologies that provide efficient airflow and vacuum generation for automation, material handling, packaging, and process applications.

Precision Fluid Control

US Valve delivers advanced valve and flow-control technologies for critical liquid and gas applications requiring exceptional accuracy, consistency, and reliability.

Engineering Partnership

Solving More Than the Specification

Selecting the right component is only part of the challenge. The real work begins when pressure, vacuum, airflow, and fluid control must perform together within a single system.

That’s where IDEX Performance Pneumatics creates value.

By bringing together the expertise of Gast, Airtech, and US Valve, we help customers look beyond individual products to optimize system performance, reduce complexity, and overcome engineering tradeoffs before they become costly problems.

Whether you’re developing a new platform or improving an existing one, we help connect technologies, expertise, and application knowledge to achieve better outcomes.

The Advantage of Connected Portfolio

When engineers engage with IDEX Performance Pneumatics, they’re not limited to a single product line or point solution. They gain access to a coordinated network of technologies and specialists working toward a common goal: Helping critical systems perform better.

Accelerate Development

Access to complementary technologies and engineering expertise helps reduce design iterations, streamline decision-making, and bring products to market with greater confidence.

Scale with Confidence

From prototype through production, customers gain access to the resources, manufacturing capabilities, and technical support needed to support long-term growth.

Reduce Integration Risk

Our teams understand how pneumatic and fluid control technologies interact within real-world applications, helping identify potential challenges earlier in the development process.

Solve Across the System

Most suppliers specialize in a single technology. We help customers evaluate the entire flow architecture, identifying opportunities to improve performance, efficiency, and reliability across interconnected systems.

Ready to Solve a Bigger Challenge

Whether you’re optimizing an existing system or developing something entirely new, our engineering teams are ready to help.

The IDEX Advantage

Specialized Technologies. Connected Expertise.

Performance Pneumatics is more than a collection of leading brands. It is part of the broader IDEX family of engineered solutions, a global network of businesses dedicated to solving complex challenges across critical industries.

That connection gives customers access to deep technical knowledge, proven manufacturing capabilities, and a collaborative engineering approach that extends beyond any single product or technology.

When requirements become more complex, customers gain something increasingly valuable: a partner capable of thinking beyond components and engineering the complete solution.
