BITZER began making its mark on the industry in as early as the 1930s by manufacturing thermostatic expansion valves out of steel and achieving international success with reciprocating compressors.
In the 1940s, BITZER began paving the way for its success as a compressor manufacturer with its open two-cylinder reciprocating compressors and set additional milestones in the 1950s with hermetic and semi-hermetic compressors.
In the early 1980s, BITZER then became the first manufacturer to market open and semi-hermetic screw compressors for commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications which were being manufactured in serial production.
