The company manufactures its products in Coburg (northern Bavaria) and Gera (Thuringia) in Germany. They feature outstanding reliability, energy efficiency, cost efficiency and ease of maintenance – all of which help Kaeser to achieve its top priority: maximum customer satisfaction.

Not only our development engineers, but also our service staff and sales engineers are fully committed to this key objective. Our service staff starts planning the spare parts supply process parallel to the product development process. The sales engineers advise customers on the optimal scale and features of the systems and arrive at an ideal solution based on the specific site and production conditions.

Even following system installation, Kaeser believes it is important to maintain close dialogue with the customer. This ongoing exchange supports a continuous improvement process for products and services.

This is an essential factor behind the reliability, cost-effectiveness and quality for which Kaeser products are renowned throughout the world. This approach has not only allowed Kaeser to open up key global markets, but has also enabled the company to create and secure jobs in Germany as well as abroad. Today, Kaeser compressors and equipment are sold through a comprehensive network of branch offices and exclusive partners in over 140 countries.
