What Hertz Kompressoren does

Hertz Kompressoren is a German-based manufacturer and designer of industrial air compressors and compressed air equipment, headquartered in Bamberg and operating as a premium brand of Turkish parent company Dalgakiran. Founded in 2005, the company produces a broad product portfolio spanning rotary screw compressors (oil-injected and oil-free), reciprocating compressors, and scroll compressors, with power ranges from 2HP to 430HP. Its core technology rests on patented mechanical innovations including a screw block design with new rotor profiles, SmartCoat high-temperature coating for oil-free rotor housings, a patented silent air system, and a patented pressure-lubricated pump. The EAGLE Series is certified Class 0 per ISO 8573-1 for applications requiring zero oil contamination, and the Impetus VSD Series claims up to 65% energy savings versus conventional compressors. The production facility holds LEED GOLD certification (August 2023) and the company is a UN Global Compact member (2025).

The company's revenue model is anchored on hardware sales of compressors and complementary equipment (air dryers, filters, air receivers, nitrogen/oxygen generators), with recurring revenue streams from spare parts, after-sales service, training, and IoT-based monitoring solutions (SMARTBOX and SMARTFLOW). Pricing is quote-based with no public list prices. Go-to-market is channel-first: 150+ distributors in 130+ countries, supported by wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in the USA, UK, Egypt, Poland, and Australia. End-customer segmentation is horizontal across sensitive industries (food/beverage, pharma, electronics requiring oil-free air), PET/blow molding, laser cutting, mining, marine, and car wash verticals, with vertical-tailored SKUs in each segment. Managing Director of the German entity is Metin Bayrak.

• Pneumatech (Atlas Copco): Specialist in compressed air treatment — dryers, filters, nitrogen generators, and condensate management. Direct overlap with Hertz's compressed air equipment portfolio (HRD, HRC, HMD, HDA dryers, filters, HNG nitrogen generators).
• CompAir (Gardner Denver): Industrial compressor brand offering oil-injected and oil-free rotary screw, reciprocating, and portable compressors. Direct competitor across Hertz's product portfolio, particularly in European and industrial markets.

Broad incumbents

• Ingersoll Rand: US-based global compressor and flow control company (includes Gardner Denver, Sullair). Competes head-on with Hertz across rotary screw, oil-free, and specialty compressor lines, with stronger North American presence and direct enterprise sales coverage.
• Atlas Copco: Swedish global leader in industrial compressors (oil-injected and oil-free rotary screw, reciprocating, scroll) and a full compressed-air ecosystem. Direct competitor across Hertz's entire product range, but with much larger scale, direct global service, and broader industrial portfolio.

Emerging players

• ELGI Equipments: Indian compressor manufacturer with growing global presence in oil-injected and oil-free screw compressors. Comparable product portfolio to Hertz at a similar scale, with strong price competitiveness in emerging markets where Hertz also distributes.

Others

• FS-Elliott: Manufacturer of centrifugal and oil-free rotary screw compressors for industrial and oil & gas applications. Overlaps with Hertz's EAGLE oil-free screw portfolio in industrial compressed air, especially in larger HP ranges and process industries.
