With reduced leak paths and centralized controls packaged in a durable composite box, Module-AIR provides a secure environment that gives peace of mind for quality valve operation for the entire lifetime of the vehicle. Manufactured in Alkon’s state-of-the-art facilities here in the US, Module-AIR exemplifies the company’s commitment to quality, responsiveness, and innovation, empowering trailer OEMs to gain a competitive edge in the market.
