“Construction customers will always be close to our core and our commitment to the industry remains as strong as ever,” said Andrew Walker, Business Area President Power Technique; earlier Construction Technique. “We will continue to provide on-site power solutions and associated products to thousands of construction sites around the world. However, we also serve customers in many other segments, and the Power Technique name more accurately reflects this and our overall offering.”
Looking ahead, the Power Technique business area will offer a core portfolio of products including portable compressors, generators, light towers and pumps along with dedicated construction products including handheld pneumatic, electric and hydraulic tools and compaction and concrete products. In addition, it continues to provide products and customised solutions for drilling, oil and gas and geothermal exploration applications, among many others.
From 2018, Atlas Copco will launch a new division dedicated to Power and Flow, which will accelerate innovation and product development within these technologies. “The Power and Flow division is to be established with the objective to accelerate growth. Creating this division will better reflect the development needs of our portfolio and aligns with the focus and expertise needed for our customers,” said Walker.
The Power Technique business area will continue to operate a dedicated service division, along with a Specialty Rental division.
