AGRE Kompressoren

What AGRE Kompressoren does

AGRE Kompressoren GmbH is an Austrian manufacturer and distributor of compressed air systems, headquartered in Steyr and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Atlas Copco Group. The company sells piston compressors across professional, silent (as low as 59 dB), and industrial tiers, alongside oil-free compressors (SpiralAir scroll, WIS water-injected, Golf MZ, MKK/MGK, CleanAir), bstAIR boosters for high-pressure applications up to 40 bar, and a full air treatment accessory line (refrigerant and adsorption dryers, filters, condensate management, AIRnet piping, Energy Box heat recovery). Control layer products include the ICONS IoT connectivity platform and ECOntrol+/ECOntrol6 multi-compressor controllers. The company distributes ALUP rotary screw compressors as a partner brand, broadening its addressable offering into continuous-duty industrial applications.

AGRE serves a diverse set of vertical segments including industrial manufacturing, automotive and collision repair, medical and dental, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical, electronics, heavy industry and mining, agriculture, and DIY/professional users. The business model combines hardware sales (compressors, parts, Altair lubricants) with recurring revenue from SCOPE and SCOPE XT service contracts (3- and 5-year terms) and scheduled maintenance delivered through an authorized dealer network in Austria and Germany, as well as direct e-commerce via agre-kompressoren.at. Economically, the company relies on regional dealer throughput, OEM-style service contracts, and the Atlas Copco Group's global Technical Assistance Centre (CATS) network for service delivery, with no public revenue disclosure and a small employee base of 11-50. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based for custom solutions.

The company's competitive position rests on over 100 years of brand heritage in piston compressors, ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certification for oil-free product lines, an integrated compressed air system stack (generation, treatment, control), and the distribution footprint of the Atlas Copco parent. Key product claims include up to 45% energy savings via permanent magnet motor technology compared to fixed-speed compressors, up to 80% heat recovery via Energy Box, and ISO 8573-1 Class 0 oil-free air.
