New AERZEN subsidiary bundles turbo business for EMEA region
Turbo blowers with air foil bearings are an eminently important component in the AERZEN product portfolio. This is reflected in Vision 2022: AERZEN plans to sell at least 700 turbo machines every year worldwide; a big part of them in the EMEA region. In order to reach the 2022 global target, Aerzen Turbo Europe will play an important role. “The new company will strongly support the sales companies responsible for acquisition and sales,” emphasises Stephan Brand, Director Turbo Business, together with Klaus Heller, Managing Director of Aerzen Turbo Europe. The spectrum of tasks ranges from sales support and order processing to service, mounting of assemblies, packaging, development and engineering. “For example, we prepare quotations, specifications and documentation for the sales companies, and are involved in negotiations and customer meetings,” says Sales Manager Ingo Bartz.
Three business segments
In addition to the standard assemblies and possible modifications, the new AERZEN subsidiary also covers two other business areas. The so-called customising is about tailor-made customer solutions, such as turbo machines in containers, as outdoor installations or with AERsmart control. In selected projects, Aerzen Turbo Europe also wants to act as a supplier for system projects, i.e. not only supplying turbo blowers, but also providing the piping, electrical connections, etc. Stephan Brand is convinced that there is sufficient potential and applications in the EMEA region for this broad range of products: “Especially in the wastewater sector, our compact and efficient turbo blowers are a decisive alternative for meeting the growing demand for energy savings and tailor-made solutions in new construction and modernisation of wastewater treatment plants,” says Brand.
René Ceada, responsible for development, engineering and purchasing, adds that the technological conditions for this have already been created: “We made a huge leap forward with the turbo generation G5plus . In detail, this concerns the double-coated bearings for the motor, the new frequency converter and the revised assembly design for both small and large machines. Looking to the future, there are still many ideas for further solutions and innovations.” This also includes a comprehensive range of services, which Service Manager Erick Lugaro is in charge of.
