Atlas Copco Compressor Technique has created a Vacuum Solutions division and appointed Geert Follens as its division president.

The new division will be responsible for Atlas Copco’s current vacuum business and, after the acquisition has been completed, for Edwards Group. Geert Follens, currently in charge of Industrial Air, becomes division president.
"We have defined vacuum as a strategic growth area for Atlas Copco and with this new division we have created a good structure from which to successfully develop the business after the Edwards acquisition,” said Stephan Kuhn, president of the Compressor Technique business area. ”I am pleased to have Geert Follens, who has a proven record in running different businesses with different challenges, on board as division president. He has been leading the Edwards acquisition team and has already a solid knowledge of the vacuum business.”
