Air Compressor Services (ACS) finished in the #7 spot for "Best Places to Work" in South Carolina. 

ACS was one of 119 total winners in the state of South Carolina in an annual competition sponsored by SC Biz News and independent researcher Best Companies Group.

"We have some of the best talent, not just in our industry, but in any industry," said ACS founder Neal Shade. "And while we know we have a fantastic culture at ACS, the recognition this award brings is further validation that we're doing the right things."

To be considered for this award, companies must have met all of the following:

  • Must be in business for a minimum of one year
  • Be a for-profit, not-for-profit business, or government entity
  • Have a physical presence or storefront in the state of SC
  • Have a minimum of 15 full-time or part-time employees working in South Carolina

The application process involved two questionnaires: an employer survey and an employee questionnaire. For the employee questionnaire portion, employees anonymously submitted answers for a workplace survey directly to Best Companies Group. 

A ceremony to recognize all 119 winners was held at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center in Columbia, South Carolina in August.

About Air Compressor Services

Air Compressor Services. Would a company description really benefit us? What we do is quite literally in our name. It’s who we are. I suppose we could call ourselves “Air Compressor Oil” or “Air Compressor Parts.” But why limit ourselves to mere segments of what we sell? Sure, we could tell you that in addition to servicing air compressors we also sell parts and oil. That we are a 3-time running Inc. 5000 fastest growing company in America and 2024’s #1 Place to Work in Manufacturing, but that makes for a pretty boring boilerplate. Just know that we eat sleep and breathe compressors. We are trying to stock our warehouse full of parts you need. In fact, we have added 4 warehouses just in the past 2 years to keep up with your demand. If we don't have it we will source it for you. And then we’ll order a few more to have on hand next time you come back. We are on a mission to be your #1 vendor. Let us know how we can get there.
