What Airpress does

Airpress Polska Sp. z o.o. is a private Polish-headquartered manufacturer and pan-European distributor of pneumatic equipment, legally domiciled at Przeżmierowo near Poznań but with corporate origins in the Netherlands dating to 1956 (originally V.R.B. Friesland B.V., founded by Doeke and Harmen de Vries). The company sells a complete compressed-air stack: screw compressors (APS X variable-speed, APS Basic, PremiumPower, MiniPower, SoloPower, TwinPower, APS GO, EcoPower series), industrial and consumer piston compressors (Seria K, Black PRO, PRO, Basic/Plus), refrigerated and adsorption dryers, multi-grade filtration, air receivers from 100L to 3,000L, a proprietary seamless aluminum pipe system, pneumatic tools, workshop equipment and spare parts. Technical differentiators center on energy efficiency — IE5-class motors, inverter variable-speed (IVR) drives delivering up to 40% energy reduction versus fixed-speed units, and AirVision remote monitoring/control panels that enable real-time performance tracking. The 2,200–315 kW product envelope spans hobbyist workshops through heavy-industrial plants.

Commercially Airpress runs a hybrid distribution model: a Polish e-commerce storefront at airpress.pl, a physical retail store, dedicated regional sales representatives covering Polish voivodeships, a network of 4,500+ distributors across 22 European countries, and a Wynajem PRO industrial compressor rental business (25–180 PLN/day, 14-day minimum, includes service). Revenue streams split across hardware sales (compressors, parts, accessories), managed-service rental, and professional service/repair. The stated distributor-and-stock advantage — 5,000+ SKUs warehoused in Poland with 95% of European orders shipping inside 48 hours — is the primary commercial claim. End-markets include industrial manufacturing, automotive workshops, painting/lacquering, food and pharmaceutical (ISO 8573-1 air quality), woodworking, and agriculture/horticulture.

In 2021 the group opened a new headquarters in Wysogotowo near Poznań, and in 2023 commissioned an in-house assembly line producing the third-generation APS-X series, taking the company from pure distribution toward integrated manufacturing. A statutory demerger of Airpress Polska (Plan podziału Spółki Airpress Polska przez wydzielenie) was announced for 20 February 2026, signalling a forthcoming structural split whose strategic intent is not yet publicly characterised. Revenue is not disclosed.
