A chronicle of success

Our story begins in 1888 with a bold step: Johann Bauer, a Bavarian blacksmith with vision, founds the ‘workshop for agricultural machinery’. What begins as a family-run craft business grows into a global technology company. 

With its entry into compressor technology in 1946, BAUER laid the foundation for a success story that is unparalleled worldwide – driven by a spirit of innovation, precision and uncompromising quality. 

Today, the name BAUER KOMPRESSOREN is synonymous with high-pressure solutions of the highest standard. We have done significant pioneering work and had a lasting impact on the market, particularly in the field of breathing air compressors for diving.
