VISIT US: FAKUMA Friedrichshafen / Germany 15 – 20 October 2018 Hall 6, Booth 6314 This year ABC Compressors is celebrating its 75 th anniversary. The family owned company, based in Eibar, in the Basque Country, North of Spain, has been producing com- pressors for the last 75 years. Since its beginning in the early 40’s, ABC Compressors has developed differ- ent types of compressors for different types of markets with a well-known characteristic, its robustness. The growth of the company has been deeply designed. After several expan- sions within its facilities, by the end of the century, it took the plunge to a much bigger and well equipped new factory true to its roots in Eibar. Due to this step, a new horizon came up to the company and its inter- nationalisation was virtually a neces- sity. The expansion plan started with different agents and services world- wide and reached its peak in 2010 with the opening of two assembly plants in China and Brazil. Since that time the company has developed a very strong and well-prepared service network with presence in more than 120 countries. This is why the com- pany focuses on service as most of the customers claim. The added value are well-trained technicians placed worldwide and the original spare parts stocked closed to the customers. 2015 was a very important year for ABC Compressors with the launch of its new compressor range, Horizon. This range has rough up the compres- sor sector in the PET market. Thanks to its horizontal design to avoid any vibration, a direct couple motor and a state of the art technology ABC Com- pressors has strengthened itself in the compressors industry. In addition to this, ABC is focusing on investment in R&D. Thanks to an agreement with one of the famous engineering universities in Spain, ABC has been developing new products and new features to its portfolio. Due to its strategic planning, ABC devoted a sig- nificant amount of its income to R&D to keep being the market benchmark. The upcoming two years will be very exciting and important for the com- pany. ABC has closed an alliance with another compressor manufacturer (will be announced soon). This agree- ment will help both companies to grow faster and keep developing. www.abc-compressors.com
