The partnership builds on Ingersoll Rand’s leadership in compression technology, including its industry leading air compressor platforms, proprietary system level innovation and deep application expertise, combined with Garrett’s advanced oil free centrifugal air compressor modules. Together, the global organizations will focus on oil-free innovation, helping customers reduce energy consumption, improve process efficiency and support sustainability goals in critical industrial applications demanding 100% oil-free air.
These benefits are particularly critical within the food and beverage and life sciences industries, where reliability, air purity and performance are essential, and will bring a superior alternative to existing air compressor solutions.
“This collaboration reflects our continued focus on delivering differentiated solutions that create superior value for our customers,” said Vicente Reynal, Chairman and CEO, Ingersoll Rand. “By working closely with Garrett Motion, we are strengthening our ability to innovate at the system level and address markets where performance, purity and efficiency are non-negotiables, helping customers operate more efficiently and sustainably.”
“We are excited to partner with Ingersoll Rand to create a distinctive oil-free solution for industrial air compression,” said Olivier Rabiller, CEO and President, Garrett Motion. “Ingersoll Rand is an ideal partner for Garrett as we expand the use of our unique oil-free, high-speed air compressor technology to bring lower lifecycle costs and increased sustainability to operations in the industrial space.”
Initial products are expected to be introduced to select Ingersoll Rand customers in 2026, with a broader commercial rollout beginning in 2027 across Ingersoll Rand’s global sales regions.
