Core offering

Amphitec designs, manufactures, and sells custom-built mobile vacuum and pressure machines for the suction, blowing, and pneumatic transport of dry and liquid substances. Its product family—Vortex, V-Force, V-Force Combi, Suction Excavator, Max-Loader, Flex-Loader, and Vacu-Tainer—is built on truck or container chassis using Roots blower and water ring pump technology, and is available in ADR, ATEX, and SIR certified configurations for hazardous environments. The company also supplies used equipment through a Qualified Used program, factory service, parts via amphishop.com, and rental through partner Atec Rental.

Product overview

Amphitec builds vacuum/pressure solutions for construction, industrial cleaning, and suction excavation markets. The product portfolio comprises seven core offerings centered on a shared roots blower vacuum technology platform: the Amphitec Vortex handles dry and wet substances via suction and blowing; the Amphitec V-Force targets wet products and liquids using a water ring pump; the V-Force Combi extends the V-Force with an integrated high-pressure pump and saddle tanks for industrial cleaning; the Amphitec Suction Excavator adds a hydraulic suction arm for cable and pipeline exposure; the Max-Loader sits on a trailer chassis for maximum payload and versatility; the Flex-Loader is a compact, container-mounted autonomous unit; and the Vacu-Tainer rounds out the range. All machines share Amphitec's pressure/vacuum concept, featuring a roots blower pump for suction and overpressure discharge, hydraulic operation, remote control capability, and options for ADR, ATEX, and SIR certifications.

Direct peers

• Vermeer Corporation: US-headquartered manufacturer of industrial and environmental equipment including vacuum excavators, trenchers, and horizontal directional drills. Operates in overlapping mobile vacuum/pressure product categories and serves the same construction, utility, and industrial cleaning end markets that Amphitec targets across Europe.
• Ditch Witch (Charles Machine Works): Manufacturer of underground construction equipment including vacuum excavators used to safely expose buried utilities. Directly overlaps with Amphitec's Suction Excavator line and the non-destructive excavation market; serves similar utility and infrastructure contractor customers.
• Rioned: Dutch manufacturer of high-pressure cleaning and sewer cleaning equipment, also based in the Netherlands. Geographic neighbor and direct peer in industrial and municipal cleaning equipment, with overlap in jetting and vacuum/pressure transport solutions.
• Cappellotto: Italian manufacturer of industrial and municipal cleaning vehicles, high-pressure jetting equipment, and combination vacuum/jet units. Closest European direct peer to Amphitec - competes head-to-head in industrial cleaning and sewer equipment across Italy, France, and broader EU markets.
• GapVax: US manufacturer of industrial vacuum trucks and hydro-excavation units serving environmental cleanup and utility customers. Competes in the same mobile vacuum/pressure truck category as Amphitec's Vortex and V-Force series, with overlapping feature sets around high-vacuum suction and dangerous-goods handling.
• Rivard: French manufacturer of industrial cleaning and sewerage vehicles, high-pressure cleaning equipment, and vacuum trucks. Direct European peer in the vacuum truck and industrial cleaning market, with overlapping use cases in petrochemical, municipal, and hazardous-environment service work.
• Vactor Manufacturing: Manufacturer of sewer cleaners, hydro-excavation units, and industrial vacuum trucks for utility and industrial cleaning applications. Direct competitor in the industrial cleaning vacuum truck space alongside Amphitec, with comparable carrier-mounted pump systems and pneumatic conveyance.

Broad incumbents

• Busch Vacuum Solutions: Global leader in vacuum pump technology headquartered in Germany. Supplies industrial vacuum pump technology that underpins equipment such as Amphitec's, and serves many of the same industrial, chemical, and environmental customers across Europe and globally.
• Kaeser Kompressoren: Major German manufacturer of compressed air and vacuum equipment, including industrial compressors and blowers. Operates in the adjacent vacuum/pump technology space but at materially larger scale and with a broader portfolio; supplies some of the same industrial customers that Amphitec serves.

Others

• Aerzen: German manufacturer of positive displacement blowers and screw compressors, including the Roots blower technology. Amphitec's founding product (Max-Loader) explicitly used Aerzen vacuum pump technology; Aerzen sits upstream as a key enabling supplier rather than a downstream competitor.
