Atlas Copco is the world's leading provider of industrial productivity solutions.

Basic Facts

- Founded in 1873 in Stockholm, Sweden, Atlas Copco began by supplying equipment for the construction of the Swedish railroad system, and today has a global presence.

Its Atlas vacuum pumps are widely used in industry and come in a wide range of models with excellent performance, as described below:

Product Model and Features

- GVD 40-275 series: they are two-stage oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps, with models of GVD40, GVD80, GVD175 and GVD275. This series of pumps adopts oil lubrication and double-stage compression design, which can effectively improve the vacuum degree and pumping speed, and is suitable for industrial applications requiring high vacuum environment, such as chemical, pharmaceutical, electronic and other fields.

- DVS 5-140 series: they are single-stage oil-free rotary vane vacuum pumps, including DVS5, DVS8, DVS16, DVS25, DVS40, DVS60, DVS80, DVS100, DVS140 models. They are characterized by oil-free operation to avoid oil contamination and are suitable for processes requiring high cleanliness, such as food packaging, medical equipment, laboratories, etc...

- GHS VSD series: belonging to the variable frequency oil-sealed screw vacuum pumps, combining screw technology and variable frequency drive. This series of pumps has the advantages of high efficiency and energy saving, stable operation, large pumping speed, etc. The power can be adjusted automatically according to the actual demand, with remarkable energy-saving effect, which is widely used in many fields such as electronics, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, and industrial manufacturing.

- GVSA series: the whole series of oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps, whose technical advantages lie in lower ultimate pressure, higher pumping speed and super water vapor resistance, which are able to operate stably under harsh working conditions and ensure the continuity and reliability of the production process.

Atlas, Leybold and Edwards have the following relationships:

Acquisition relationship

Atlas Copco Group acquired Leybold vacuum pumps and Edwards vacuum pumps, making both brands part of the Atlas Vacuum Pumps Division, with Leybold acquired in 2016 and the Edwards acquisition announced by Atlas Copco in 2013, with Edwards becoming part of Atlas after the deal was finalized.

Business synergies

- Technology sharing and complementarity: Atlas' compressor technology complements Leybold's and Eduard's vacuum technology. For example, Atlas' GHS VSD series vacuum pumps draw on the design concepts of the compressor's drive system, while the vacuum expertise of Leybold and Edwards also provides Atlas with assistance in the development of the vacuum field, and jointly promotes the technological innovation of vacuum products.

- Product enrichment and integration: After the acquisition, Atlas' vacuum pumps have become more diversified, which can meet the vacuum needs of different industries and under different working conditions.

- Market expansion and cooperation: Leybold has high application expertise and market position in the fields of analytical instruments, display production and R&D, etc., while Edwards also occupies an important market share in the semiconductor field. By acquiring them, Atlas has further expanded its share and influence in the global vacuum market, and is able to provide one-stop vacuum solutions for customers in various industries.

Sales and after-sales relationship

Leybold and Atlas are combined in sales and after-sales, while Edward is a separate system of sales, but the agent system, price system and after-sales service system of Atlas vacuum pumps are all established with reference to the former agent distribution system of Atlas air compressors and Leybold vacuum pumps.
