About HOERBIGER
HOERBIGER is a Swiss family-owned group founded in 1895 in Vienna, with headquarters in Zug and around 130 locations in approximately 40–50 countries. The group develops and manufactures performance-defining components and systems in the business units Compression (valves, rings and packings, control systems for reciprocating compressors), Automotive (synchronizer systems, clutch plates, transmission actuations and actuator technology for the drivetrain), Positioning (precision positioning systems and actuators of Physik Instrumente, acquired in 2026), Rotary (rotary feedthroughs), Safety (explosion protection) and Flow & Motion Control (piezo-pneumatic valves and pressure regulators). In addition, HOERBIGER offers field service, repair and technical services for compressor systems. Industries served include oil and gas, automotive and e-mobility, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, medical technology, the energy industry and hydrogen technology. Key production sites in Germany are Schongau, Oberstenfeld, Penzberg, Ammerbuch, Altenstadt and Redwitz an der Rodach.
