Kaeser Celebrates 100 Years
July 1, 2019
Kaeser Kompressoren is celebrating its centennial year. Established in 1919 as a machine workshop in Coburg, Germany, by Carl Kaeser, Sr., the company has grown into a compressor manufacturer and global compressed air systems provider.
Kaeser began manufacturing reciprocating compressors in 1948. Under the leadership of the founder's son, Carl Kaeser Jr., Kaeser introduced the Sigma Profile rotary screw airend in 1975, which advanced energy efficiency in compressed air systems. "Launching the PC-based Sigma Control compressor controller in 1998 and introducing the comprehensive Sigma Air Manager in 2001, Kaeser led the industry in modern controls, paving the way for the integration of compressed air systems with Industry 4.0 and advancing the industrial Internet of Things (IoT)," said a company spokesperson.
Today, Kaeser has over 6,000 employees around the world.
In addition to major events planned in Germany, Kaeser subsidiaries and partners in over 100 countries globally will be commemorating this milestone with local events for employees and partners.
A special 100-year anniversary website has been established to share more insight into Kaeser's heritage and the celebrations around the world.
