Champion Compressors have appointed Michael Griffin as their new General Manager. Michael Griffin brings 25 years of industrial leadership experience to the role, and most recently, an extensive résumé of compressor air-end business expertise with international compressor technology group, Sullair.
According to Michael Griffin, his focus will be to enhance Champion Compressors’ technological edge and enviable track-record of customer care. There is a real emphasis on continuous improvement across all of Champion Compressors’ internal operations, including manufacturing and after-sales service.
Streamlining the internal systems, through parent company United Technologies’ ACE business operating system, will enable Champion Compressors to deliver compressed-air solutions that provide the superior reliability and performance required for continuous operation in the hot, humid and dusty conditions throughout Australia.
Properly matching the compressor to the compressed-air demand is one of the first steps towards improving energy efficiency. By installing an air compressor with the most suitable drive configuration, coupled with complementary air-filtration and heat-recovery systems, enormous energy savings can be realised.
Under Griffin’s leadership, there will be an increased emphasis on forming close alliances with new and existing clients and suppliers, as Champion enters new markets. Champion Compressors are able to engineer compressed-air solutions, tailored to customer specifications. This capability is a rare attribute in the Australian compressed-air industry, providing Champion Compressors with a real advantage as they take on a significant role across a number of industrial sectors.
