What Pneumatech does

Pneumatech, founded in 1966 and operated as a brand within the Atlas Copco Group, manufactures compressed air treatment and on-site industrial gas generation equipment. Its product portfolio spans four interlocking families: on-site gas generation (PSA and membrane nitrogen generators, the integrated PPNG HE high-pressure nitrogen skid with VSD compressor, oxygen generators, nitrogen purification systems, laser-cutting nitrogen solutions); compressed air treatment (refrigeration, adsorption, and membrane dryers; line and process filters; condensate management including drains, water detectors, oil-water separators, aftercoolers, and water separators); measurement equipment (chart recorders, flow sensors, leak detectors, compressed air quality monitors, gas analysis solutions, and dew point meters); and breathing air purification (BA 25-300 HE series), complemented by Airnet aluminium and stainless-steel piping, V&V HP and DBH high-pressure air receivers, and the ConservAIR family of flow controls.

The company serves industrial customers across pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, automotive, general manufacturing, construction and mining, and textiles, with primary verticals being pharma, F&B, automotive, and manufacturing. Pneumatech sells exclusively through a direct, sales-assisted model: customers submit product inquiries via 25+ country-specific websites in 15+ languages, after which regional sales teams provide application-specific consultation and quote-based pricing. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of generators, dryers, filters, condensate management equipment, measurement instruments, breathing air purifiers, piping, receivers, and flow controls. The firm operates globally through regional entities such as MultiAir Germany GmbH for the DACH region (Reutlingen) and benefits from Atlas Copco's worldwide service infrastructure, with its US headquarters in Kenosha, Wisconsin. There is no publicly disclosed pricing, no funding events, no M&A activity, and no leadership changes in the source material; the company's growth signals are product-line extension and geographic localization rather than capital-markets activity.
