27 June 2019


Kaeser Kompressoren celebrates its centenary this year. Established in 1919 as a machine workshop in Coburg by Carl Kaeser Sr, the company has developed into a compressor manufacturer and provider of compressed air system solutions with a global presence in over 100 countries.

Key milestones include the inclusion of reciprocating compressors to its product range in 1948, followed by the development of Kaeser's rotary screw compressors with Sigma Profile rotors in the early 1970s, the start-up of Germany's most advanced manufacturing facility for refrigeration dryers in Gera in 1994, and the launch of Sigma Control, the revolutionary compressor controller, at the turn of the millennium. The roll-out of the innovative compressed air management system Sigma Air Manager 4.0 in 2001 paved the way for digitalisation and Industrie 4.0.
