GF Compressors is a family run business and was started up over 40 years ago by its founder George Fabo. George was originally from Hungary and a fully trained tool room engineer. Upon his arrival to the UK, to see his mother he was offered a job as a toolmaker at a well known UK manufacturing company.
George had always been a keen worker and enjoyed undertaking his own projects at home. He first developed an interest in air compressors as he was looking for a solution to power a pneumatic shelf in his cupboard. After obtaining all the parts himself and building the shelf from scratch to completion the shelf would rise and lower at the push of a button. After showing his friend his work and turning down his offer to purchase the device George decided to create another unit for his friend. The success of his device allowed him to get more orders and start the company as we know it today, GF Compressors.
