The blowers, compressors and turbos combine maximum performance, energy efficiency and reliability and set new standards in process air and compressed air generation. With the acquisition of GPE Turbo from Leipzig, AERZEN is taking the next step and significantly expanding its turbo portfolio in the upper pressure and volume flow range.
Innovative turbo solutions for high pressures and large volume flows
GPE Turbo is a proven specialist for single and multi-stage turbo solutions for the process gas industry and has many years of experience in a wide range of scopes of application as well as worldwide references. A particular strength lies in customised solutions and future-oriented technologies, such as green technologies including hydrogen applications. Our own R&D centre and in-house manufacturing enable application-specific adaptations with a short time-to-market.

The integration of GPE Turbo into the AERZEN Group leads to an extension of the product portfolio for process gas solutions to include turbo compressors with a pressure range of up to 300 bar and up to 300,000 m³/h volume flow, for example for oil and gas technology, steel production, power plant technology and chemical and process engineering.
