1956–1965: The economy booms – and so does BAUER

BAUER launches the K14, one of the most successful high-pressure compressors to date. 

• Four-stage block compressor 
• Delivery rate: 200 l/min 
• Areas of application: versatile – from diving to industry 

The K14 is a technical pioneering achievement and establishes BAUER's reputation as a supplier of high-precision high-pressure systems. 

With the new ROTA product line, BAUER begins manufacturing oil-free rotary compressors for the pressure range up to 1 bar. 

These compact and robust systems are ideal for continuous use applications, such as industrial painting. 

A technological highlight: ‘As smooth as grease – but without any oil.’ 

BAUER grows – not only technically, but also in terms of space: 

• New building in Geretsried: Production plant 
• Construction in Munich: Spare parts centre & customer service location 

The company invests specifically in infrastructure and customer proximity – as a basis for long-term growth. 

Global construction site use 

Mobile BAUER compressors are now working on thousands of construction sites worldwide – particularly popular: the air-cooled LD2, equipped with a practical centrifugal clutch for effortless starting.

• Archaeology meets technology: BAUER supports excavation work in Bodrum, Turkey 
• 80% export quota – deliveries to all five continents 
• In use since 1956 at Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Centre (USA) – a symbol of BAUER's international relevance
