What Nash does

Nash (佶缔纳士机械有限公司 / GDNC) is the Asia-Pacific manufacturing, engineering, and R&D base of Ingersoll Rand Inc.'s Pressure & Vacuum Solutions (PVS) division, producing liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors, dry screw vacuum pumps, multi-stage centrifugal blowers, steam jet ejectors, turbo vacuum pumps, Roots booster pumps, and fully engineered system solutions. Founded in 1996 in Boshan, Zibo (Shandong) as a Siemens joint venture, the company has operated under the NASH brand since 2006; became part of Gardner Denver in 2013, merged into Ingersoll Rand in 2020, and now also manufactures Garo, Hoffman & Lamson, ROOTS, Runtech, and KINNEY branded products on a consolidated site. Its technology base rests on proprietary NASH inventions from 1905 — including the GSV (Gas Service Valve) for high-vacuum operation, ECO-FLO water-saving design (up to 50% water reduction), cone-rotor construction, and an Intelligent Vacuum System with variable-frequency control — augmented by an AWS-hosted IIoT platform (S3, EKS, MSK, DocumentDB, SageMaker) that connects over 100,000 connected assets worldwide for predictive maintenance and energy analytics.

The company serves industrial customers in power generation (nuclear, thermal, solar thermal, biomass, waste-to-energy), petrochemical and chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, new-energy batteries, pulp and paper, environmental protection, food and beverage, mining, metallurgy, and marine applications. It claims dominant installed share in Chinese nuclear power (equipment in 55 of 59 operating units as of end-2025) and references enterprise deployments at China Nuclear Power, BYD, BASF, SABIC, Budweiser, Heineken, Carlsberg, Sun Paper, Guangzhou Environmental Investment Group, and CRRC Times Electric.

Nash makes money through three primary streams: (1) capital-equipment sales of branded pumps, compressors, blowers and engineered skids via five directly-staffed regional sales offices (Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Guangzhou, Chengdu), authorized dealers, and a 1688.com B2B storefront, with quotation-based project pricing and multi-year contracts; (2) full-lifecycle aftermarket services under the NASH Care+ program — installation, commissioning, repair, spare parts, technical upgrades, and remote monitoring — delivered through three service centers (Zibo, Shanghai, Guangzhou) and certified service partners; and (3) custom engineered system integration combining liquid ring pumps, Roots boosters, condensers, and control systems into turnkey solutions for specific processes, supporting both direct domestic sales and exports through Ingersoll Rand's global network in 100+ countries.
