PCL - Unbeatable Under Pressure

Pneumatic Components Ltd (PCL) was founded in 1938 when the first tyre pressure gauges were designed and manufactured in Sheffield.

By the mid-forties the first quick release air line couplings and adaptors were produced; becoming affectionately known as PCL's.  As air distribution in the workplace became an important part of modern engineering industry, PCL developed a variety of sophisticated products to meet customer demands.

High quality, reliable products

Today, PCL's products are a familiar sight in garage forecourts, tyreshops and engineering shops throughout the world, and PCL continues to expand globally, providing first-class, reliable and cost effective products for tyre inflation and pneumatics, with localised service in any location.

With over 70 years of design excellence, PCL has become a world-leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of tyre inflation equipment, air distribution and air line technology.

"Made in Sheffield"

Yet PCL maintains a firm commitment to its roots, still manufacturing from its production facility in Sheffield, the cradle of engineering excellence. The modern factory occupies over 12,000m² and utilises the very latest production equipment, operated by a highly skilled workforce. PCL is proud to display the city's prestigious Mark of quality and excellence on its "Made in Sheffield" products.

Superior customer service

PCL’s continuing success is down to its focus on quality and reliability and superior customer service levels, including next day delivery with full technical and product support. PCL's ongoing research and development programme ensures that the company continually enhances performance of the existing product range whilst developing new and innovative ideas.

For customers this means access to traditional favourites as well as ground-breaking new products, including the electronic tyre inflation ranges, the air tool and air treatment ranges, and equipment for nitrogen applications. All are manufactured to meet the requirements of relevant quality standards and stringent European approvals.

Global business, local support

PCL's key to global success is its forwarding thinking policy for supplying innovative products to the international market, whilst providing a local focus for customers in their own country. 

It is this pro-active approach to the market for pneumatics and tyre inflation products that has established PCL internationally as the brand to buy, backed up by excellent customer service and training.

Pioneering design

Continually building up on the company's reputation for pioneering design and high standards has transformed PCL from a small manufacturing company into the dynamic market-leading company it is today - exporting the industry's most up-to-date products to over 80 countries, with a worldwide network of agents and distributors, including offices in Malaysia (PCL Asia), America (PCL North America) and India (PCL-SUMO Air Technology Pvt Ltd).

When it comes to the design, manufacture and marketing of tyre inflation equipment and air distribution technology, customers can rely on PCL for sophisticated products developed to meet their needs.
