We are ebm‑papst.
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 evident in our solutions, our communication, agile processes and goal-oriented actions. Enthusiasm and passion unite the ebm‑papst family across all regions and generations.
We inspire each other and enjoy working together. This is characterised by empathy, integrity, reliability and respectful interaction. Diversity and inclusion are cornerstones of our colourful culture. For us, this is summed up by 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.

We speak the language of our customers:
our locations worldwide
We understand the needs of regional markets around the world. That's why we make our customer's homes our own. As a result, our customers find a strong partner right on their doorstep who is perfectly attuned to their needs. Each of our locations is set up on a 'local for local' basis. The core regions Europe, Americas and APAC cover consistent processes from enquiry to installation of a solution. Each has local customer relationship, supply chain and product lifecycle management units. In the regions, we also develop for the local market. This gives our customers greater speed and flexibility.
With an international share of over 75 % and a presence in almost 50 countries, we are represented worldwide. In addition to a global sales network, we operate 27 of our own production sites in the core regions of Europe, Americas and APAC.
