Atlas Copco has celebrated 150 years of innovations in style. On Friday, March 24, 2023, the company brought together major stakeholders to witness the launch of its two latest compressor innovations. The event took place at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Nairobi.
Atlas Copco East and Central Africa CEO Raphael Kiandiko, says they were delighted to launch the firm’s improved VSDs compressor that boasts 60 percent energy savings.
Atlas Copco also launched its E-Air portable compressors used by the construction industry. These compressors use electricity instead of an engine, a clean form of energy. This, explains Mr Kiandiko, is in line with the global sustainability agenda.
Among the dignitaries who witnessed the launch of these products as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations were the Swedish Ambassador to Kenya, Her Excellency Caroline Vicini; the firm’s customers; members of the Swedish Business Council; and officials from the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM), the Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK), and the Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK).
Amb Vicini congratulated Atlas Copco for its achievements and lauded the innovativeness of Swedish firms. – Daily Nation
