A new global player in pneumatics

3rd Quarter 2014 News & events

A new standalone company has been created from the former pneumatics unit of Bosch Rexroth. Effective from 2014, the former subsidiary is named Aventics, and, with revised values and a new company structure, is completely re-establishing itself within the pneumatics industry to define the next generation of pneumatics.

The former Bosch Rexroth subsidiary is one of the leading manufacturers of industrial pneumatic drive and control solutions, components and systems. Aventics, which encapsulates the company aims – advantage, invention and ‘pneumatics’ – will retain both its proven pneumatic products as well as its focus on individual customer needs under the company’s global presence.

The emergence of the standalone Aventics will afford the entity greater autonomy in a more streamlined product development environment, allowing the company to address additional industries that have not previously been its focus, including heavy industry and medical technology. Other advantages of this corporate reorganisation will be an improved quality of consulting, with Aventics being able to communicate more directly and engagingly with its customers, the majority of whom are also medium-sized companies. Turnaround times in product delivery will also be positively affected.

Aventics offers its customers tailored, cross-industry system solutions and services based on decades of applied expertise. “Our customers will get added value with our innovative products, system solutions and services,” explains Dr Alexander Lawrence, chief sales officer and one of three board members at Aventics. The company also supplies drive and control solutions for the marine industry and commercial vehicles, and inverted tooth conveyor chains for, among others, the glass and automobile industries.
