  1. Control your compressed air costs! GD Connect 12 Advanced Air Management System with up to 35 % energy savings!

  2. GD – Your Smart Partner to Save Energy and Money Efficient Controller Systems CO2 Reduction Prosperous Business Opportunities GD Air Compressors – The Perfect Fit!

  3. Today: Low energy costs & low emissions are a must Why do we make more energy efficient compressor and controllers? • Facts aprox 70% of electrical energy is used in Industry • According to Industry figures 10% of all energy used in industry is used to produce compressed air. • By using a controller to run the system more efficiently it is estimated that most systems can reduce there energy consumption on compressed air plants by around 25 %. Customers are investing in more and more energy saving equipment.
