Airtec is a division within Atlas Copco’s Compressor Technique business area. The headquarter is located in Wilrijk (Belgium) and has production units in China and India. Besides production, other divisional activities like engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, finance and human resources are also located in Belgium.

Worldwide, employees contribute to the success of our division.
Our team, the Smart Factory team, is part of the Process Engineering department. The team investigates all the buzzwords surrounding Industry 4.0. The goal is to identify those technologies and applications that really create an added value for Airtec and/or the Atlas Copco group.
