Ariel Rubinstein to lead Atlas Copco Compressors UK and Ireland

"My focus will be on three main aspects. Firstly, in leading our team in delivering value to current and future customers in the UK and Ireland," said Rubinstein. "We can add value by offering smarter and more energy-efficient compressed air and industrial gas equipment, which help users achieve optimal equipment uptime and reduce their energy consumption.

"Atlas Copco has a clear drive towards developing products to support green energy applications which protect the environment and society,” he continued. "You can expect to see an increased focus on hydrogen compressors and on oxygen generators for biogas production, for example. My mission is to grow the company sustainably through direct and indirect channels as well as considering acquisitions which would allow us to increase our presence and service to better support our clients wherever they are."

Rubinstein has a background as an industrial engineer from the Merchant Navy University and a post-academic degree in business economics at Materiabiz in Argentina. He joined Atlas Copco Argentina in 2004 as a service engineer. In 2005 he became responsible for service for the Compressors business in Argentina. After serving from 2007 until 2008 as aftermarket manager, he was appointed in 2008 as business line manager for Compressor Technique Service.

In 2011, Rubinstein left the group for a short period to become service and engineering manager for Toyota Material Handling Mercosur. He returned two years later as general manager of Atlas Copco Argentina. In 2019, he moved to Atlas Copco Compressors Canada as general manager.

"I am proud to be joining an experienced and professional team in the UK and Ireland, and I genuinely believe that our people are the engine of our strategy. Therefore, we will continue to capitalise on competence development and talent management within the company," Rubinstein stated.
