In 1898, AB Atlas merged with AB Diesel Motorer to form AB Atlas Diesel. Their mission: to refine the diesel engine. From 1950 onwards, Atlas became focused on compressed air and the journey to worldwide leadership in this area began...
Based on our company's early roots in compressor techniques, we have built our expertise and expanded our portfolio over decades of research and development and customer interaction. We have grown to become a reliable end-to-end partner in the marine industry.

Ketting Marine
Atlas Copco has always sold compressors to the marine industry. Before 2005, Ketting Compressoren BV, a Dutch company selling parts on the marine market, bought Atlas Copco piston compressors and converted them into starting air compressors.
Since 2005 Ketting BV is part of the Atlas Copco Group, an acquisition which marked the start for Atlas Copco to design and build a wide range of compressors according to the marine standards and requirements.
Today the Atlas Copco Marine Center develops and produces fully-certified marine air solutions, which makes the marine center a trusted partner of all major shipyards and ship owners.
