Over 150 år Aerzener Maschinenfabrik

KVALITET MED TRADITION

AERZEN ser tilbage på en begivenhedsrig historie. Om Wilhelm Meyer, der var den første på kontinentet, som fik lavet kapselblæsere vha. Roots-metoden, Hermann Allstaedt, den administrerende direktør i 1930’erne, som fokuserede produktionen konsistent på blæsere, pumper og gasmålere, eller Hasso Heller, der grundlagde det første datterselskab Aerzen France i 1968 for at gøre virksomheden international – i løbet af de sidste 150 år har vi “Aerzener” gentagne gange taget kloge beslutninger, for at bringe os et skridt foran konkurrenterne.
