We are ebm‑papst.
Your partner for sustainable, intelligent and innovative air and heating technology.

Air is our element

We know how to use air efficiently and intelligently. And we make sure you feel good about it!

Whether it's air conditioning, data centers, clean rooms, refrigeration, industrial cooling, transport, renewable energy or residential ventilation – you come into contact with our solutions and products every day, at work or at home. If you don't notice, we've done our job well.

 

Our vision: we lead air technology into the next generation

That is why our solutions combine customer value, intelligence and efficiency in new ways – and in the most resource-efficient way possible.

 

Our values are at the heart of all of this 

They make us unique. Efficiency is reflected in our innovative and sustainable solutions, our communication, standardized processes and goal-oriented actions. Enthusiasm, joy and passion unite the ebm papst family across all regions and generations.

We inspire each other and enjoy working together. This is characterized by empathy, integrity and reliability as well as respectful interaction with one another. Diversity and inclusion are the cornerstones of our colorful ebm‑papst culture. For us, this sums up the value of humanity.

This triad has made us successful and is the foundation for the future.

Engineering a better life
A promise we stand by.

 
 

We drive innovation: Our sustainable and digital solutions help customers reduce emissions. We also focus on resource-efficient manufacturing of our products. The solutions themselves help reduce the carbon footprint of our customers' applications – day after day. In this way, our sustainable and intelligent solutions ensure a better climate – for people, their applications and our environment. It's how we work towards a better future. 

In all that we do, we strive to live up to this claim.

Sustainability

By 2025, we aim to be carbon neutral globally in terms of our direct and indirect emissions within our own business. 

We have been thinking sustainably since the company was founded: This means that every product we make has to outperform the one before, both economically and ecologically. And that also makes our customers' applications more sustainable, too.

 

Digitalization

From the first integrated electronics before the turn of the millennium to today's networked solutions: We bring digital added value to your applications. 

From demand-driven operations to remote monitoring and predictive maintenance to data-driven buildings with AI – together we will find the solution that lowers costs, saves energy and reduces emissions.

 

Innovation

We founded the company with a belief in an engine that was ahead of its time. Later, the development of EC technology was equally groundbreaking. 

Innovation has always been the driving force behind our success. This is underpined by consistently high levels of investment in Research & Development – and that worldwide. This technological progress helps our customers to make their applications better and better. This is how we live technology leadership.
