AIR CARE SEMINAR TRAINING Sullair Air Care Seminars are 3-day courses that provide hands-on instruction in the proper operation, maintenance and service of Sullair equipment. Individual seminars on Industrial compressors and com- pressor electrical systems are presented at regular intervals throughout the year at a dedicated training facility at Sullair’s corporate headquarters in Michigan City, Indiana.
