About Us

At Hitemp, we believe that dependable air and energy solutions are fundamental to safe, efficient, and productive operations—particularly across crucial industries like Mining, Manufacturing, Food, and Energy. From process-critical environments and remote sites to clean production and power assets, our role is to ensure performance under pressure—literally and operationally. Built on technical expertise, practical problem‑solving, and long‑term relationships, Hitemp has grown into a trusted partner for business who need more than a supplier; they need a team that understands their industry and delivers with confidence.

Our Owners

Hitemp is proudly owner‑led, with hands‑on leadership closely involved in every aspect of the business. Our current owners bring decades of combined experience across compressed air systems, pneumatics, thermal insulation, HVAC, and industrial service delivery in a wide variety of settings. Having worked directly in the field, they understand the realities our clients face—tight shutdown windows, safety‑critical environments, regulatory obligations, and the uncompromising need for reliability.

This practical background shapes how Hitemp operates. Decisions are grounded in real‑world knowledge rather than theory, and quality is never compromised for speed or cost. Our current ownership team have built the company around strong values: integrity in how we work, accountability for what we deliver, and respect for the people we partner with—clients, suppliers, and our own team. That commitment to leadership from the front has been instrumental in establishing Hitemp’s reputation for consistency and trust.

Our History

Way back in 1987 Hitemp began with a clear purpose: to provide specialised industrial solutions that customers could rely on without hesitation. Initially focused on high‑temperature thermal insulation and some pneumatic services, the company quickly identified broader needs across Compressed Air Services and Pneumatics, and thus we expanded into selling and servicing air compressors and associated ancillary equipment.

In the early years, Hitemp supported a small but loyal client base in the Illawarra, delivering tailored solutions where standard off‑the‑shelf options fell short. Through repeat work and word‑of‑mouth referrals, the business expanded steadily, we invest in skilled people, trusted supplier relationships, and quality systems. Over time, Hitemp has evolved into a multi‑disciplinary provider with complementary service divisions that allow clients to work with a single, accountable partner. We now pride ourselves on being the one-stop show for all things air!

Despite this growth, we have remained true to our roots. Clear communication, reliable delivery, and solutions-focused continues to guide everything we do. Hitemp’s history is not just one of expansion, but of sustained partnerships built on consistent performance and practical outcomes.

What We Do

Hitemp delivers end‑to‑end industrial air solutions across Compressed Air, Pneumatics, Insulation, HVAC, and thermal applications. Our services are designed to support Mining, Manufacturing, Food, and Energy clients from concept through to installation, commissioning, and ongoing support, ensuring systems perform optimally throughout their lifecycle.

Hitemp Compressed Air Services

Compressed Air Services is at the core of our offering. We provide complete support for compressed air as a critical utility across Mining, Manufacturing, Food, and Energy sites—designing, supplying, installing, and maintaining systems that prioritise energy efficiency, reliability, compliance, and reduced whole‑of‑life cost.

What we deliver:

• System design & optimisation: demand profiling, sizing, and control strategies (VSD, load/unload, heat recovery) tailored to harsh mining environments, high‑uptime manufacturing, food‑grade air requirements, and energy sector reliability.

• Equipment & air treatment: compressors, dryers, filters, receivers, condensate management, dew‑point control, and oil‑carryover mitigation to meet both process integrity and regulatory standards.

• Distribution networks: engineered pipework, ring mains, drops, and point‑of‑use design to minimise pressure drop and improve productivity.

• Performance auditing & leak detection: ISO‑aligned audits, data logging, leakage quantification, and ROI modelling to cut energy consumption and emissions while improving stability.

• Reliability‑centred maintenance: planned servicing, critical spares, remote monitoring, and rapid breakdown response to reduce downtime and protect production schedules.

Industry‑specific focus:

• Mining: robust systems for remote, dusty, and high‑duty cycles; resilience and maintainability during shutdowns.

• Manufacturing: stable pressure and air quality for automation, packaging, and QA; uptime and throughput protection.

• Food: hygienic, oil‑free/low‑oil solutions and appropriate filtration for product safety and compliance.

• Energy: high‑reliability utilities supporting power generation and process control.

Hitemp Pneumatics

Hitemp Pneumatics underpins automation and control systems that depend on reliable pneumatic performance. We supply, integrate, and service valves, actuators, cylinders, regulators, and control components used across Mining, Manufacturing, Food, and Energy environments.

By combining technical selection with practical installation and commissioning, we help minimise downtime and ensure safe, efficient operation—from heavy‑duty mining machinery and manufacturing lines to hygienic process equipment and energy‑sector control applications.

Hitemp Insulation

Hitemp Insulation delivers thermal and industrial insulation solutions that improve energy efficiency, personnel safety, and asset longevity. We work across high‑temperature, cold service, and acoustic applications, supporting both new installations and upgrades for Mining, Manufacturing, Food, and Energy clients.

Our insulation services are tailored to site conditions and operating requirements, helping reduce heat loss, protect equipment, and meet safety and compliance obligations. Quality workmanship and attention to detail are central to every project we deliver.

Hitemp HVAC

Hitemp HVAC provides reliable heating, ventilation, and air conditioning solutions for industrial and commercial environments. Our services cover system design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, servicing, and preventative maintenance.

We understand the importance of environmental control for comfort, productivity, and process integrity. Whether servicing mining facilities, manufacturing plants, food‑grade environments, or energy assets, we deliver HVAC solutions that are efficient, compliant, and designed for long‑term operational performance.

How We Work

Our approach is collaborative and transparent. We take the time to understand site conditions, operational priorities, and risk environments across Mining, Manufacturing, Food, and Energy before offering clear, practical advice. Safety, compliance, and quality assurance are embedded in everything we do, and our multi‑disciplinary capability allows us to coordinate works efficiently across service areas.

We value long‑term relationships over short‑term wins. Many of our clients work with multiple Hitemp divisions, confident they are dealing with a business that understands their site, stands behind its work, and remains available well beyond project completion.

Our Commitment

Hitemp is committed to continuous improvement—in our systems, our skills, and our service delivery. As technologies evolve and industry standards advance, we adapt alongside them, ensuring our clients remain supported by current, proven solutions.

Above all, we are committed to doing the job properly. Whether supporting a focused upgrade or providing ongoing site‑wide services, our goal remains the same: to deliver reliable industrial solutions backed by people who take pride in their work.

If you are looking for a capable, experienced partner who understands Compressed Air along with Pneumatics, Insulation, HVAC, and high‑temperature systems across Mining, Manufacturing, Food, and Energy, Hitemp is ready to work with you.
