- Elgi Equipments Limited manufactures and sells air compressors and related equipment. The company offers a broad range of products including oil-lubricated screw compressors, oil-free compressors, portable compressors, dental compressors, and nitrogen generators; it also provides vacuum pumps, air treatment equipment such as dryers and filters, and aftermarket services including spare parts and maintenance contracts. Elgi Equipments serves industries such as manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, healthcare, and construction, with primary target markets encompassing small and medium enterprises as well as large industrial clients.
Founded in 1960 and headquartered in Coimbatore, India, the company operates manufacturing facilities in India, Italy, the United States, and China, with sales and service networks spanning over 100 countries across Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Africa. Subsidiaries include Elgi Equipments (USA) Inc., Elgi Equipments (Italy) S.p.A., and Elgi Gulf FZE, supporting its global footprint in the compressed air systems segment of the industrial machinery industry.
In recent developments, Elgi Equipments launched the EN series of high-efficiency screw compressors in 2024, featuring advanced variable speed drive technology for energy savings; the company also expanded its oil-free compressor portfolio with the AB series models tailored for pharmaceutical and food processing applications. Additionally, it formed a strategic distribution partnership with Kaeser Compressors in select European markets in early 2025 to enhance service capabilities, and acquired a majority stake in a U.S.-based vacuum pump manufacturer in late 2024 to bolster its product diversification. These initiatives reflect ongoing investments in R&D and capacity expansion, including a new greenfield plant in Tamil Nadu, India, commissioned in 2025 to meet rising demand in emerging markets.
