Cardinal Valley Industrial Supply was founded in 1993 in Salem, Virginia, as a remanufacturing and repair shop specializing in air starters for industrial engines. From the beginning, the company was built on a simple premise: that a quality product is only as good as the service behind it.

What started as a small repair operation grew steadily as demand for reliable industrial starting solutions expanded across the oil and gas, marine, mining, power generation, and rail industries. Cardinal Valley expanded its capabilities from repair and remanufacturing into full distribution, becoming an authorized distributor for the leading air starter manufacturers in the United States.

Today, Cardinal Valley is an Ingersoll Rand factory-certified air starter distributor and repair center and provides starters from other major brands including TDI (Tech Development), Trust Air Starters, Austart, Pow-R-Quik, Powerstart, Kineteco, and Kocsis. The company supplies new OEM and aftermarket starters, remanufactured units, and repair services for all engine makes and models.

Over more than 30 years in business, Cardinal Valley has built a reputation for deep inventory, fast shipping, and knowledgeable support. Most orders ship within 24 to 48 hours. The sales team — factory trained and application experienced — helps customers across industries identify the right starting solution for their specific engine make, model, and operating environment.

Cardinal Valley serves customers throughout the United States and worldwide, with a commitment that has remained unchanged since 1993: get the right part to the right place as fast as possible, and stand behind it completely.
