We take that responsibility seriously — and act on it every day.

At Elmo Rietschle, sustainability isn’t a side initiative — it’s built into everything we do. As a manufacturer of vacuum and pressure solutions, we know our technologies have the power to shape more efficient, responsible, and resource-conscious operations for industries worldwide.

Our Commitment Starts with Product Design

We engineer our pumps and blowers to use less energy, reduce emissions, and extend service life. By optimizing performance and reliability, we help customers across industries lower their carbon footprint, cut operational waste, and minimize downtime.

Some of our key innovations include:

Energy-efficient technologies like our latest high speed radial blowers (HSRB) and variable speed-controlled systems
Dry-running options that eliminate the need for oil or water in some applications
Modular designs for easier repair, reuse, and recycling

We believe sustainability doesn’t come at the cost of performance — it enhances it.
