Ingersoll Rand partners with Garrett Motion on oil‑free industrial air compression
Ingersoll Rand Inc., a global provider of mission‑critical flow creation and industrial and life science solutions and Garrett Motion, a global provider of differentiated turbocharging and electrification technologies for mobility and industrial applications, announced a multiyear strategic partnership to develop next generation oil-free air technologies.
The companies aim to deliver greater energy efficiency, performance, and reliability for customers across key end markets, including food and beverage and life sciences.
The partnership builds on Ingersoll Rand’s leadership in compression technology, including its industry‑leading compressor platforms, proprietary system‑level innovation, and deep application expertise, combined with Garrett’s advanced oil‑free centrifugal compressor modules . Together, the global organizations will focus on oil-free innovation that helps 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 food and beverage and life sciences industries, where reliability, air purity, and performance are essential, and will bring a superior alternative to existing compressor solutions.
“This collaboration reflects our continued focus on delivering differentiated solutions that create superior value for our customers,” said Vicente Reynal, chairman and chief executive officer of 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, chief executive officer and president of Garrett Motion. “Ingersoll Rand is an ideal partner for Garrett as we expand the use of our unique oil-free high speed 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.
