What RENNER Kompressoren does

RENNER Kompressoren is a family-owned German manufacturer of compressed air systems headquartered in Güglingen, Baden-Württemberg. Founded in 1994 by Annette and Bernt Renner, the company designs and builds screw compressors (both oil-injected and oil-free), piston compressors, SCROLL compressors, booster compressors, and complementary air treatment equipment, with a power range spanning 1.5 kW to 355 kW across more than 6,000 catalog configurations. Manufacturing is conducted in Germany, supported by in-house production halls, a dedicated spare parts and logistics center opened in September 2023, and a proprietary control platform (RENNERtronic). The company holds ISO 9001 certification (since 2006, recertified to ISO 9001:2015) and complies with sector-specific standards such as IFS Food, BAFA, and ATEX for explosion-protected variants.

The company serves a diversified industrial customer base — including food and beverage, medical/pharmaceutical, mining, textile, agriculture, craft/trade, and OEM manufacturers — across more than 100 countries via a distributor and dealer network combined with direct sales. Its go-to-market emphasizes application-specific configuration rather than mass-market catalog sales, with revenue derived from new equipment, customized engineering, and an aftermarket spare parts and service stream anchored by the 2023 logistics center. Pricing follows standard industrial capital-equipment conventions (per-unit plus installation, plus recurring service contracts); specific list prices are not publicly disclosed.

RENNER is a privately held GmbH with approximately 220-230 employees. In May 2025, the founding couple was joined in management by their children Ronja and Daniel Renner, formalizing second-generation succession. The company does not publish revenue, funding, or ownership data. No M&A activity, external investors, or public capital markets activity is indicated in the available information.

Comparable mid-market industrial positioning in Europe, with deeper service and digital offering.
• Gardner Denver: Global industrial compressor, blower, and vacuum manufacturer with broad coverage of oil-injected, oil-free, and high-pressure compressor categories. Competes with RENNER in industrial screw and oil-free applications but at much larger scale and with full vertical integration.
• Chicago Pneumatic: Global compressor and power tool brand offering screw, piston, and portable compressors, part of the Atlas Copco Power Technique portfolio. Comparable on product overlap (screw, piston) and mid-market industrial customers, with global service reach.
• Sullair: US-based compressor manufacturer offering oil-injected and oil-free rotary screw compressors, with strong presence in industrial, oil & gas, and mining. Overlaps with RENNER in screw compressor technology and select industrial verticals but with deeper North American direct sales reach.

Emerging players
