Atlas Copco, founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1873, celebrated its 150 years in business on February 21, 2023. For a century and a half, the company has been driving development and delivering breakthrough innovations to customers in different industries from food production to space exploration. Initially, the company delivered equipment for the construction of the Swedish railroad system. Since then, the Group has evolved and today supports customers with a variety of products and solutions like compressors, vacuum solutions, generators, pumps, power tools, assembly systems and many more under different brand names.

“We are extremely proud of our past, and we continue to shape the future through our technologies and service solutions, “said Mats Rahmström, CEO and President of the Atlas Copco Group. “Much has changed since 1873 when we were a small local start-up. But I think our founders would recognise our innovative spirit, the passion shown by our employees and our dedication to driving development together with our customers.”

“We have a very strong company culture of welcoming different perspectives and empowering our employees to take decisions. I believe a large part of our success is built on our ability to adapt, while always focusing on delivering value for our customers. We would like to thank all our customers, suppliers, owners, and colleagues around the world and look forward to good cooperation in the years to come,” he added.
