The Kiel-based company is a manufacturer of high-pressure reciprocating compressors for all gases and pressures up to 500 bar for shipbuilding, marine, industrial and offshore applications. In Sweden, the group of companies has been represented by Söders Maskinservice with locations in Oskarshamn and Kalmar for over 15 years.
