When a Royal Navy diver descends into deep waters, when special forces surface in stealth operations, or when hydrogen refuelling stations serve communities with safety and precision - there’s one constant behind the scenes: Haskel's aftermarket services.

When the stakes are high and lives depend on precision, Haskel’s air compressors and oxygen boosters rise to the challenge. From daring rescues to space launches, our technology has proven itself time and again in the most demanding environments.

In today’s plastics industry, blow molding has evolved into a high-precision, high-efficiency, air-intensive manufacturing process. Whether producing PET bottles, automotive ducting or consumer packaging, maintaining stable compressed air pressure during forming is critical. Even small fluctuations in air delivery can cause inconsistent wall thickness, poor surface finish and increased reject rates, especially in high-output lines.

In the summer of 2018, the world was captivated by the dramatic rescue of a young soccer team trapped in the Tham Luang cave in Thailand. This high-stakes operation highlighted the critical importance of reliable technology in life-saving missions. Among the key players in this rescue was a Haskel gas booster, which proved indispensable in ensuring the safety and success of the operation. For our Haskel Legacy Series, I have written about Haskel's legacy of reliability and safety in high-pressure environments, focusing on our technology’s role in the Thai cave rescue.

Nearly 60 years after the first moon landing, space exploration continues to captivate our imagination, driven by our curiosity and desire to push beyond known boundaries. Over these decades, our reliable high-pressure components and equipment have been the unsung heroes enabling humanity to achieve the unimaginable in space.
