Atlas Copco
Atlas Copco is a long-established Swedish industrial technology group best known for compressors, vacuum solutions, industrial tools and mission-critical flow equipment. The business serves manufacturers, process industries, life science, electronics and infrastructure markets where uptime, energy efficiency and process reliability matter.
Company Overview
Atlas Copco is a Swedish multinational industrial powerhouse that has evolved from a 19th-century railway equipment manufacturer into a global leader in sustainable productivity solutions.
Headquartered in Nacka, Sweden, the Group operates through four specialized business areas: Compressor Technique, Vacuum Technique, Industrial Technique, and Power Technique. In 2025, the company reported annual revenues of approximately 168 billion SEK (roughly $17.1 billion USD) and maintained a workforce of about 56,000 employees worldwide.
Known as the “Home of Industrial Ideas,” Atlas Copco is a primary driver of innovation in sectors ranging from semiconductor manufacturing and automotive assembly to renewable energy and medical treatment. Since spinning off its mining and infrastructure business into Epiroc in 2018, the company has doubled down on digitalization and energy-efficient technologies, such as its pioneering VSD+ (Variable Speed Drive) compressors and advanced vacuum systems.
