Imagine a company with technology leadership of over 160 years, yet it operates with the energy of a startup. Ingersoll Rand has dedicated itself to Making Life Better for its employees, customers, shareholders, and planets. We produce innovative and mission‑critical flow creation and life science technologies – from compressors to precision handling of liquids, gases, and powers – to increase industrial productivity, efficiency, and sustainability.
