Aventics is a manufacturer of pneumatic components and systems with facilities in Laatzen, Germany; Bonneville, France; Lexington, United States; Eger, Hungary; and Changzhou, China. The Lexington pneumatics facility manufactures pneumatic valves, pneumatic cylinders, directional control valves, pressure control valves, electro-pneumatic valves, solenoid valves, pneumatic fittings, flow controls, actuators, marine propulsion controls and more.
The company was formed in 2013 through the divestment of the pneumatics division of the Bosch Rexroth. In December 2013, it was sold to the financial investor Triton Partners[3] and traded as Aventics from February 2014 until the Emerson purchase in July 2018.
Pneumatics uses compressed air as a drive medium. The company manufactures cylinders,[4] valves, valve systems,[5] as well as units for compressed air preparation and is increasingly focusing on electronic networking of system parts. Vacuum technology for non-contact transport systems, such as those used in the food industry[6] is an additional division.
