US Vacuum and Leak Testing Company Has Become Part of Atlas Copco Group

LEWA, part of Atlas Copco Group Industrial Flow division, brings together a portfolio of hygienic industrial flow technologies designed to help manufacturers in the food and beverage industry maximize production efficiency while maintaining product integrity.

Atlas Copco has launched a new range of Emergency Trash Pumps (ETP) to complement its existing dewatering portfolio. The new pumps provide a robust and portable solution for fast and reliable water removal in challenging environments. Designed for construction, mining, quarrying and other industrial dewatering applications, the ETP range offers dedicated models for both clean water and dirty water handling.

With the introduction of the GHS VSD⁺ vacuum pump series, Atlas Copco has taken vacuum technology to a new level. Whereas vacuum systems used to consume energy regardless of demand, modern oil-sealed screw pumps are efficient systems that deliver vacuum according to demand.

Håkan Andersson has been appointed President of the Industrial Technique business area and member of Group Management, effective June 1, 2026. Håkan Andersson is currently President for the General Industry and Assembly Systems division within the same business area.

Atlas Copco developed the dry screw vacuum pump DHS 3000 VSD+ specifically for massive flow industrial applications. As dry technology, it is well suited for paper processing, conveying technologies, pick-and-place applications in the food industry, and as a central vacuum system.

Securing reliable groundwater is a growing priority for communities and industries in South Korea, especially in regions where demand for domestic and agricultural supply continues to rise. In Yeosu, known for its mountainous terrain and hard rock layers, local waterwell specialist Yeosu Jonghap Jihasu faced increasing pressure to drill deeper wells efficiently.
