Since its inception, Artic has sold thousands of air dryers. The Jemaco SPX range of dryers was launched in 1999 and is still represented by Artic today. The company continues to service industry from its family-owned operational base in Benoni , supplying quality compressed air treatment products sourced from 10 different countries around the globe.
