Powerex-Iwata Air Technology Inc.
As a part of the global industrial organization Marmon Holdings—which is backed by Berkshire Hathaway—you’ll be doing things that matter, leading at every level, and winning a better way. We’re committed to making a positive impact on the world, providing you with diverse learning and working opportunities, and fostering a culture where everyone’s empowered to be their best.
WHO WE ARE:
Powerex designs and builds oil free compressed air and vacuum systems used in environments where performance matters most, from hospitals and laboratories to transit systems, and advanced manufacturing operations. For more than three decades, our teams of engineers, technicians, and manufacturing professionals have partnered with customers to solve complex technical challenges and deliver highly reliable, application driven solutions.
As part of Marmon and Berkshire Hathaway, Powerex offers the stability of a well-capitalized organization combined with the agility of a growing business. We are a growing manufacturer of premium custom-built compressed air and vacuum solutions. Unlike high-volume assembly lines, our production floor operates in flexible assembly cells where skilled teams build one-of-a-kind systems from the ground up. This creates an engaging, vibrant workplace where problem-solving, continuous learning, and ownership are part of every day.
