The CS-iTEC company, part of CS Instruments Asia, has appointed Artic Driers International as the sole southern African agent for its broad range of products covering compressed air measurement and mobile auditing equipment. Artic Driers has marketed CS products to its broad client base for many years, as well as using the products within its own growing audit division. “With a view to increasing its presence in the compressed air audit and measurement, the recently formalised distribution agreement with CS-iTEC will increase our product range with the latest technology at highly competitive prices,” states Allen Cockfield, CEO of Artic Driers.

As South Africa’s power costs increase, the need for greater compressed air efficiency is critical. Artic is at the forefront of this technology, having developed a range of air auditing systems, air leak detection programmes and more recently, air optimisation systems. “We have the biggest air auditing equipment capacity in the country and with our years of experience in the industry, the blend of CS-iTEC with Artic Driers is perfect,” he adds.
Located in Germany and China, CS-iTEC has combined the German quest for precision and quality with the Asian drive for speed and innovation. With its in-house technology, and cooperation with leading institutes and universities, CS-iTEC remains ahead of the curve in technological advancement. The company has established long-term relationships with many leading companies in Asia and Europe by providing reliable and quality service. “The association of Artic Driers and CS-iTEC will no doubt lead to even more valuable relationships on the African continent,” concludes Cockfield.
