This year, ALUP is celebrating its 100th anniversary. That means
100 years of excellence
100 years of innovation
100 years of satisfied customers
100 years of service
100 years of quality
A lot has changed since ALUP was founded in Köngen near Stuttgart in 1923. Compressor technology has evolved significantly. We developed our
first piston compressor in 1925 and launched a line of rotary screw compressors in 1978.
More recently, our innovative variable speed drive (VSD) compressors have set the standard in terms of energy efficiency, low operating
costs and a reduced environmental footprint.
What hasn’t changed during all those years of expansion is our commitment to excellence, to our customers and to sustainable compressed air
solutions.

Largo screw compressors provide high-quality air for wide range of industrial applications. Largo and Allegro compressors are built around three features which make the, stand out: Superior efficiency; Intelligent control; Ultimate reliability and serviceability.
Up to 35% of energy consumption can be saved through a combination of advanced elements, compared to a fixed speed machine of the same size. This series is a brilliant choice for modern engineering and manufacturing facilities. Equipped with Aircontrol 5.1 controllers, the machine operates to its maximum efficiency when you have a full control of your compressed air system.
Designed and manufactured to help you achieve more in your daily operation. Reliable, efficient and easy to operate, the compressor will ensure trouble-free operation while keeping the operating costs at a minimum.
Did you know that energy costs represent about 70% of the total operating cost of your compressor over a 5-year period? That’s why reducing the energy consumption of your compressed air installation should be a major focus. For the right application, variable speed technology, such as on the Allegro variable frequency drive compressor, can cut the energy bill of your compressor by up to 35%.
The Allegro reduces energy consumption in the following ways: The variable frequency drive compressor matches air supply with demand therefore reducing energy consumption when the demand is lower. If the demand is stable then the Air Control 5.1 guarantees a fixed set pressure, No unload cycles above 20% load, No peak current due to soft start.
Allegro air compressors are built around three features which make the, stand out: Superior efficiency; Intelligent control; Ultimate reliability and serviceability.
