SCC compressors: Developed in Europe, manufactured in China. Why SCC relies on manufacturing in China – and why this is an advantage.

Why compressors manufactured in China are now a real alternative – with SCC as a European manufacturer with production facilities in China

European manufacturers have long been regarded as the undisputed market leaders in industrial compressed air technology. However, times are changing: today, modern production technologies and strict European quality standards can also be successfully implemented in Asian manufacturing facilities.

SCC air compressors is a European compressor manufacturer based in Germany – yet our compressors are produced at our own facility in China. This allows us to combine German engineering expertise with efficient manufacturing – resulting in industrial compressors that offer an outstanding price-performance ratio.

At SCC air compressors, we rely on a carefully balanced approach that combines technical development and product responsibility in Europe with cost-effective manufacturing at our facility in China.
