MICHIGAN CITY, IND. (September 22, 2025) – Hitachi Global Air Power US, LLC, an industry leader in innovative compressed air solutions, has been acknowledged with two awards for the Sullair E425H Electric Portable Rotary Screw Air Compressor:
- Equipment Today Magazine’s Contractors’ Top 50 New Products Award of 2025
- Rental Magazine’s 2025 Editor’s Choice Award
Equipment Today and Rental are respected national media outlets serving the commercial construction industry and rental equipment professionals, respectively.
The Contractors’ Top 50 New Products of 2025 is a prestigious annual award that celebrates the most innovative and impactful new products and enhancements in construction, chosen for their excellence in innovation, quality, efficiency, and overall contribution to jobsite productivity. The winners are selected based on a combination of reader engagement and editorial review, with products nominated over a 12-month period through ForConstructionPros.com.
The 2025 Rental Editor’s Choice Awards represent the equipment rental industry’s best products gaining interest from end-users and rental professionals alike. The awarded products, exhibiting innovation and utility, were chosen based on submitted nominations and their potential impact to the general tool and equipment rental industry by the Rental editorial team.
“We are incredibly proud to be recognized with not just one, but two highly respected industry awards for the E425H,” said Hideki Fujimoto, President and CEO of Hitachi Global Air Power. “This achievement reflects the hard work and innovation of our entire team, as well as our commitment to delivering environment-forward solutions that combine reliability, performance, and lasting impact for our customers and the industry as a whole.”
The Sullair E425H delivers 425 CFM at 150 psi of compressed air power in a maneuverable user-friendly design. Highlights of the E425H include:
- Durability and Reliability: Built to perform in tough indoor and outdoor environments.
- Innovative Condensate Management: Features a patent-pending system that eliminates the need for condensate disposal, reducing environmental impact.
- Ease of Service: Patent-pending swing-out coolers allow for convenient cleaning and maintenance.
- Advanced Control and Connectivity: A 7-inch color touch-screen controller ensures intuitive operation, while Sullair AirLinx® enables remote monitoring, troubleshooting and equipment tracking.
- Operational Safety: The package layout is designed to enhance safety by keeping electrical and compressed air hazards away from the operator and control panel.
The fully electric operation of the E425H results in quieter operations and no emissions. The E425H may be used anywhere with access to suitable power – including indoor locations not suitable for diesel compressors.
“The E425H carries forward much of the advanced technology found in the Sullair E1035H, making it accessible to a broader range of customers,” says Jerel Cole, Hitachi Global Air Power Senior Product Manager.” With its versatility, the 375/425 family of compressors serves a far wider range of applications than their larger counterparts. We see tremendous potential in the construction & industrial rental market, especially among independent rental businesses.”
The Sullair E425H builds on the momentum of the successful Sullair E1035H electric portable air compressor launched in March 2023. For more information, visit Sullair.com.
