About us
Atlas Copco celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2023, marking a long history of innovation and industrial progress. From our beginnings as a small Swedish company, we have grown into a global leader with a diverse network of brands operating around the world. From the very beginning, we have been committed to finding and implementing innovative solutions to societal and industrial challenges.
In the late 19th century, we began supplying products for the railway industry, but quickly expanded our portfolio to include compressors, tools and drilling rigs, all of which played a key role in the industrialisation process. Today, we continue to lead in these traditional sectors, while also actively expanding into new areas such as vacuum technology. Our mission remains the same: to innovate for a better future, giving our customers the tools to grow and develop.
Atlas Copco's core values of innovation, sustainability and ethical business practices have remained constant throughout our history. However, the key to our success has always been our people. Their passion, thirst for knowledge and innovation help us find unique ways to shape the future.
Looking back over 150 years, we understand that our achievements are made possible by the dedication of our people, their continuous commitment to learning and the development of advanced technologies and services. In collaboration with our customers, we create products that meet high standards in the use of natural resources, safety, ergonomics and efficiency. This allows us to look confidently to the future and ensure that Atlas Copco continues to lead its industry. Today, Atlas Copco operates four main divisions: Compressor Technology, Vacuum Technology, Industrial Technology and Power Systems, serving customers in 180 countries. From healthcare to renewable energy, our company offers innovative products and solutions that significantly improve people’s daily lives.
