When Busworld 2011 in Kortrijk closed its gates on 26 October, one of GEA Bock’s most successful exhibitions of the last years ended.

The number of vehicles with Bock compressors displayed at the Busworld demonstrated impressively the claim of GEA Bock to be market leader of modern bus air-conditioning systems. Marcus Reuß, GEA Bock Director Sales and responsible for mobile applications drew a positive balance at the end of the exhibition:

“We are very pleased to see that two-thirds of all buses exhibited at the Busworld use compressors by GEA Bock. This fact is exemplary for the success of the past years. At the same time we look into the future with optimism. Not least because we already work together with the leading system manufacturers on tomorrow’s air-conditioning systems.“ For example the Aluminum compressor HG34 in lightweight construction with integrated electric drive, presented at the Busworld. A compressor for highly efficient systems, especially developed for mobile applications, such as hybrid or trolley.

In addition, the company presented with its compressors of the FK series open-type compressors for a conventional drive via Diesel engine of the vehicle at its booth in hall 4. GEA Bock presented itself for the first time as part of the GEA Group. The company that was family-owned until recently is part of the segment Refrigeration Technologies of the GEA Group AG since May this year. The GEA Group is an international system provider for food and energy processes with more than 20.000 employees and a revenue of EUR 4.4 billion.
