airkom Druckluft

What airkom Druckluft does

airkom Druckluft GmbH is a family-owned German industrial services company founded in 2000 in Wildau, Brandenburg, that delivers turnkey compressed air, vacuum, cooling, and technical-gas systems to industrial customers. The company operates as an authorized contract dealer of Atlas Copco and combines four product pillars — compressed air (screw, piston, oil-free, scroll, high-pressure compressors and blowers), vacuum (claw, rotary vane, turbomolecular), cooling and climate (chillers, cooling towers, air handlers, heat exchangers), and technical gases (nitrogen/oxygen generation, gas warning systems) — with supporting services including engineering/plant construction, energy and BAFA-subsidy consulting, statutory testing, spare parts, and a 24/7 emergency rental fleet.

Revenue is generated across five streams: equipment sales (Atlas Copco-branded and complementary product lines), rental/mietsysteme for temporary compressed air, vacuum, cooling, heating and power, recurring maintenance contracts and statutory testing services, transactional e-commerce through the airkom.pneumatikatlas.com platform offering 300,000+ pneumatic and hydraulic SKUs from a 25,000+ m² warehouse with same-day shipping, and engineering/consulting services including Airaudit plant analyses and leakage detection. The customer base spans large industrial manufacturers and machine builders (primary), construction and trades (SMB), events/film production, and commercial real estate. Distribution combines direct field sales for enterprise projects, inside sales by product line, the self-serve e-commerce storefront, the Atlas Copco dealer channel, and a direct rental fleet. The company employs 50+ people, is led in second generation by Anne Damm alongside Torsten Haase, holds ISO 9001, SCC**, WHG, ChemKlimaschutzV, and IHK training certifications, and has been recognized regionally as 'Unternehmen des Jahres 2022' and 'Bester Arbeitgeber 2019' in the Dahme-Spreewald district.
