Earlier this year, Tamturbo secured €22 million in funding, solidifying the company’s ability to sustain and accelerate its robust growth and global expansion. This funding will also further strengthen Tamturbo’s already successful presence in the Americas, a key market with high demand for sustainable and energy-efficient industrial solutions, enabling even faster and more efficient expansion in the region.
This investment round includes strong support from prominent Finnish industrial families, with Ahlstrom Invest as one of the largest investors, alongside existing owners and new international supporters.
Tamturbo’s innovative, 100% oil-free, energy-saving compressor technology has quickly gained traction with major global companies. Andreas Ahlstrom, CEO of Ahlstrom Invest, stated, “We are impressed with how quickly leading global firms have adopted Tamturbo’s technology. Our investment aligns with our commitment to supporting sustainable, long-term growth in industrial technology.”
Igor Nagaev, CEO of Tamturbo, added, “Our solution is greener and less costly, fitting our clients’ portfolios exceptionally well. Tamturbo now has better-than-ever opportunities to grow globally. We offer the quickest and simplest solution to reduce energy and maintenance costs while minimizing carbon footprints.”
The Future of Compressed Air: 100% Oil-Free, 100% Sustainable, Zero Compromise
With substantial financial backing and a proven track record of success, Tamturbo is positioned for a bright future. The combination of significant customer adoption and ongoing innovation means that Tamturbo is meeting current industry demands and leading the way in sustainable technology.
This new investment secures the company’s ability to scale operations, enhance product offerings, and further support clients’ sustainability goals.
The Role of Efficient and Clean Compressed Air
Compressed air is a crucial utility in industrial manufacturing. With 10% of industrial electricity used to produce compressed air, there is a strong demand for more efficient solutions. Unlike other utilities, companies must generate their compressed air, emphasizing the need for Tamturbo’s effective approach.
However, it’s important to note that green solutions cannot take hold if they are not also profitable. Businesses are looking for ways to lower their energy costs and improve their bottom line while minimizing their environmental impact. Tamturbo’s technology addresses both concerns by providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to meet the industry’s needs.
Significant Cost and Energy Savings
The total cost of ownership (TCO) savings with Tamturbo’s solution can be up to 68% compared to traditional oil-free screw compressors, based on estimates from existing installations. The lifespan of an industrial air compressor typically ranges from 10 to 15 years, with energy being the largest ownership cost incurred during this period.
With Tamturbo’s Heat Recovery and Heat Management Unit Systems, more than 90% of the compressors’ energy can be recovered, leading to significant savings throughout the compressor’s lifespan.
Tamturbo’s Global Impact with lowest TCO
Tamturbo’s compressors are already in use worldwide, with units deployed and utilized by global companies such as Paulig, Componenta, HKScan, and Metsä Board. These businesses are experiencing significant energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint thanks to Tamturbo’s innovative technology. The compressors can recover 90% of the consumed power, often paying for themselves within just one year. Additionally, installation is seamless, allowing for no production downtime. All in all, for every Tamturbo compressor, the customer achieves more than 50% savings in TCO in comparison with traditional screw technology.
Sustainability and Efficiency Benefits
- Oil-Free and Clean: Tamturbo compressors provide completely clean air without oil, reducing maintenance needs and environmental impact.
- Energy Efficiency: These machines are 9-15% more efficient, leading to a significant reduction in electricity cost. Studies show that one unit can save about 2 million kWh annually, equating to EUR 360,000 at a rate of 0.16 EUR per kWh.
- Carbon Reduction: Each compressor can save between 900 and 1,800 metric tons of CO2, potentially reducing costs by EUR 60,000 to 120,000 based on current EU Carbon Permit prices.
Flexible Purchasing Models: Air-as-a-Service Innovation
One of Tamturbo’s distinguishing features is its air-as-a-service model, which enables companies to utilize this technology without the burden of significant upfront capital. This model makes it easier for businesses to transition to more sustainable practices.
With this new investment and a solid growth strategy, Tamturbo is well-equipped to expand its reach and impact by providing efficient and eco-friendly compressed air solutions worldwide, benefiting both industry and the environment.
