2023 marks the 150th anniversary of the Atlas Copco Group and one and a half centuries of pioneering industrial innovation.

Starting with a single Swedish venture, we have grown into an expansive group of brands spanning the entire globe.

Atlas Copco, founded in Stockholm in 1873, today celebrates its 150-year anniversary. For a century and a half, Atlas Copco has been driving development and delivering breakthrough innovations to customers in many different industries.

We are extremely proud of our past, and we continue to shape the future through our technologies and service solutions, much has changed since 1873 when we were a small local start-up. But I think our founders would recognize our innovative spirit, the passion shown by our employees and our dedication to driving development together with our customers.

Atlas Copco was founded in Stockholm, Sweden, and initially delivered equipment for the construction of the Swedish railroad system. Since then, the Group has evolved and today supports customers in many different industries, enabling everything from food production to space travel. 

We have a very strong company culture of welcoming different perspectives and empowering our employees to make decisions, I believe a large part of our success is built on our ability to adapt, while always focusing on delivering value for our customers. We would like to thank all our customers, suppliers, owners, and colleagues around the world and look forward to good cooperation in the years to come.
