MARKET SURVEY 28 PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 10/25 www.petpla.net 10/2025 MARKETsurvey Compressors Producing PET bottles requires vast amounts of compressed air – and compressors deliver it under extreme conditions of pressure, heat and constant operation. The success of every blowing process depends on their ability to supply a clean, stable flow of air at precisely the right pressure. In this market survey, we feature leading compressor manufacturers and their product ranges: AF Compressors, Siad Macchine Impianti, ABC Compressors, Kaeser Kompressoren, Atlas Copco and Adekom Asia Pacific Limited. Although the publishers have made every eff ort to ensure that the information in this survey are up to date, no claims are made regarding completeness or accuracy.
