- Atlas Copco AB provides sustainable productivity solutions to industries worldwide through its four principal business areas: Compressor Technique, Vacuum Technique, Industrial Technique, and Power Technique. Compressor Technique offers industrial compressors, gas and process compressors and expanders, air and gas treatment equipment, and air management systems for manufacturing, oil, gas, and process applications; Vacuum Technique supplies vacuum products, exhaust management systems, valves, and abatement equipment primarily under the Edwards, Leybold, and Atlas Copco brands for semiconductors, chemicals, food packaging, and scientific research; Industrial Technique delivers assembly systems, industrial power tools, quality assurance products, machine vision, and software for automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing; Power Technique produces portable compressors, pumps, generators, lighting towers, compaction equipment, demolition tools, and construction tools for infrastructure, civil works, road construction, and energy projects. The company maintains customer centers in about 71 countries and conducts sales in approximately 180 countries, with around 36% of revenues derived from aftermarket services including spare parts, maintenance, repairs, consumables, accessories, and rentals. Founded in 1873 and headquartered in Nacka, near Stockholm, Sweden, Atlas Copco employs approximately 55,000 people and reported 2024 revenue of SEK 177 billion.
In recent developments, Atlas Copco pursues an aggressive acquisition strategy to expand its technological capabilities and geographic footprint, completing numerous transactions in 2024 and 2025 including National Tank & Equipment, LLC and CRI-MAN S.p.A. in Power Technique in October 2025, Shanghai Shareway Environment Technology Co., Ltd. in Vacuum Technique in September 2025, Arizaga Bastarrica y Compañia S.A. in Compressor Technique in July 2025, and earlier 2025 deals such as Talleres Haizea S.L., Kyungwon Machinery Industry Co., Ltd., and MSS Nitrogen Ltd. These acquisitions, alongside 2024 purchases like Hycomp Inc., Zahroof Valves Inc., and KRACHT GmbH, bolster offerings in energy-efficient compressors, high-pressure systems, pumps, and nitrogen generation while enhancing service networks in key markets. The company also invests in R&D, supported by a EUR 183 million loan from the Nordic Investment Bank in 2023 for Industrial Technique innovations in battery production and electric vehicle assembly, and launched next-generation GA and GA+ oil-injected screw compressors in 2024 to advance energy efficiency in industrial applications.
