Rubix acquires compressed air specialist Airflux
As part of the Group's growth strategy Rubix has acquired the French compressed air specialist Airflux and its two subsidiaries Int' Air Media and Synairgies.
Founded in 1983 by Serge Boutry and headquartered in Lille, Airflux is the largest independent player in the French compressed air industry. The business is a specialist in the sale and maintenance of air compressors.
Current Airflux CEO Gilles Verstraete will remain with the Group for two years to oversee the transition and integration of the business into the Rubix France organisation.
Commenting on the acquisition, CEO Rubix France Alexandre Labasse said: "I am delighted to welcome my new colleagues to the Group. Airflux complements our existing compressed air expertise to create a leading player in the French market.
"We can now offer our customers a broader portfolio of products and services that reduce the unnecessary costs and environmental impact associated with compressed air leakage."
Gilles Verstraete added: "We're excited about the potential to build on our strong history and successful track record as part of the Rubix Group.
"Alongside strengthening the offer available to Rubix customers, I look forward to bringing the complete Rubix multi-specialist offer to Airflux customers as we support them throughout 2026 and beyond."
