What Krinner Drucklufttechnik Gmbh does

Krinner Drucklufttechnik GmbH is a family-owned, Munich-based industrial compressed air specialist founded in 1995 in Hohenbrunn near Munich, Germany. The company operates as an authorized Atlas Copco dealer, selling, installing, servicing, and renting industrial compressed air equipment including screw compressors (Atlas Copco Serie G, G VSD, GA VSD+/s, GA FLX, GA/GA+), oil-free scroll compressors, refrigeration and adsorption dryers, compressed air filters, activated carbon adsorbers, aftercoolers, condensate drains, oil-water separators, breathing air systems meeting DIN EN 12021 (8-6,290 m³/h, 7-16 bar), on-site nitrogen and oxygen generation (membrane and PSA technologies), and compressed air storage tanks from 5-10,000 liters. Spare parts, original lubricants, and pneumatic accessories (via partner Riegler) round out the portfolio.

The firm's business model combines four revenue streams: one-time equipment sales sourced directly from Atlas Copco, recurring service and maintenance contracts, usage-based compressor rentals under the Air4rent brand, and hardware sales of spare parts and consumables. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led with personal, professional consultation and direct field sales targeting enterprise industrial customers; a separate online shop serves SMB and individual buyers for accessories.

Customer segments span medical technology, machine engineering, food, pharmaceutical, semiconductor (microchip production), printing, and facility management industries across the Munich metropolitan area and broader Bavaria region. The company employs 1-10 people and is managed by family members Christa Krinner and August Krinner. It accesses Atlas Copco's international service network through its authorized dealer status, providing 360° service from selection and planning through installation, commissioning, and ongoing preventive maintenance.

Direct peers

• Kaeser Kompressoren: German-based manufacturer of screw and rotary screw compressors, dryers, and compressed air systems with direct sales and service across Bavaria. Competes head-to-head with the Atlas Copco product lines Krinner distributes, often selected in the same competitive bidding processes.
• BOGE Kompressoren: German manufacturer of screw, piston, and oil-free compressors plus air treatment equipment. Targets identical industrial customer verticals (food, pharma, automotive) with a comparable direct-sales-plus-service business model across Germany.
• ALMiG Kompressoren: German screw and piston compressor manufacturer with strong direct and dealer presence in Bavaria. Offers a comparable product portfolio (screw compressors, oil-free units, dryers, controllers) targeting the same mid-market industrial customers as Krinner.
• CompAir (Gardner Denver): Manufacturer of oil-injected and oil-free screw and piston compressors plus air-treatment equipment. Competes with Atlas Copco/Krinner in German industrial accounts via its own direct sales and distributor channels.

Broad incumbents

• Atlas Copco: Global market leader in compressors and Krinner's sole principal supplier. Sells direct and through authorized distributors like Krinner; the relationship is symbiotic but also the central risk if Atlas Copco chooses to bypass dealers in key German territories.
• Ingersoll Rand: Global industrial compressor and air-treatment manufacturer (parent of Gardner Denver, now separated as Ingersoll Rand). Competes in the same German industrial accounts, often at the high end of the oil-free and oil-injected screw compressor market.
• SMC Corporation: Global pneumatics and compressed air preparation components supplier with strong German industrial presence. Competes in air-treatment (dryers, filters, FRLs) adjacent to Krinner's portfolio and serves overlapping machine-engineering customers.

Emerging players

• Bauer Kompressoren: German specialty manufacturer of high-pressure and breathing-air compressors. Overlaps with Krinner's DIN EN 12021 breathing-air systems product line and serves similar fire-services, diving, and industrial safety customers.

Others

• Festo: German pneumatics and automation components supplier (valves, fittings, compressed air preparation). Adjacent rather than direct: Krinner sells comparable pneumatic accessories via Riegler, but Festo is upstream component ecosystem rather than a competitor.
• Riegler & Co. KG: German manufacturer of compressed-air fittings, couplings, filters, and pneumatic accessories. Already a Krinner partner for the online shop, Riegler is a complementary supplier rather than a competitor but operates in overlapping downstream channels.
