Sanborn Air Compressor Information
Sanborn air compressors were manufactured originally by the Sanborn Manufacturing Company in Springfield, Minnesota. Their brand of compressor then was the Black Max air compressor. After some years Sanborn Manufacturing was acquired by Coleman Powermate, Inc.
Subsequently, the Black Max air compressor line was discontinued as the original Sanborn brand.
The Black Max then became the Powermate brand of air compressor. MAT Industries, LLC then purchased the Coleman Powermate plant in 2008.
MAT Holdings, Inc., is a $600 million privately held company supplying hardware, air compressors and automotive parts and accessories in North America and worldwide. MAT Holdings, Inc. is currently headquartered in Lincolnshire, Ill.
According to www.nujournal.com
You can get more information about MAT industries by visiting their site: www.matholdingsinc.com. Powermate appears to be offering the Sanborn air compressor brand Black Max again.
Then, in late 2017, there was a rumor floating around the internet that Sanborn / MAT holdings make the Kobalt air compressor brand for Lowes, too.
