About Cate Industrial: 85+ Years of Industrial Air Leadership

Your Trusted Partner for Compressed Air Solutions Across the Intermountain West

For over eight decades, Cate Industrial Solutions has stood as a cornerstone of reliability and expertise in the industrial air industry. What began as a small equipment provider has grown into the region's premier Master Distributor for Ingersoll Rand and a trusted partner for businesses across Utah, Nevada, and Idaho. From our headquarters in Salt Lake City, UT and our branch in Pocatello, ID, we deliver comprehensive industrial air compressor solutions—including sales, parts, rentals, and service—to clients ranging from local manufacturers to major enterprise operations.

Our longevity in this industry is built on more than just time; it's built on relationships, technical mastery, and an unwavering commitment to keeping our customers' operations running. We don't simply sell equipment; we engineer complete compressed air systems, fabricate custom solutions, and provide ongoing support that ensures maximum uptime, energy efficiency, and return on investment.

Since our founding, we have witnessed and adapted to the complete technical evolution of the compressed air industry—from simple piston compressors to today's sophisticated VSD, oil-free, and high-pressure systems. This longevity means we bring institutional knowledge and proven stability to every project.

Our Service Commitment
When Your Equipment is Down, We're All Hands on Deck

We understand that in the industrial world, downtime is not an inconvenience—it's a crisis. That's why our service department operates with a sense of urgency that matches your own. A "machine down" call from a client triggers an immediate, coordinated response to get the right parts and the right technician to your site as quickly as humanly possible. This commitment to rapid response has defined our reputation for over 70 years.

Our technicians are not just mechanics; they are factory-trained experts who understand the intricacies of modern compressed air systems.
