Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited (KPCL) is a leading manufacturer of air compressors, pneumatic tools, and hydraulic equipment in India. The company was established in 1958 as a joint venture between Kirloskar Group and Kansaikiki Kaisha Ltd., Japan.
KPCL's product range includes air compressors for industrial applications, refrigeration compressors for commercial use, and various types of valves and pneumatic tools. The company also offers engineering services related to compressed air systems and other industrial solutions.
One of the key factors that sets KPCL apart from its competitors is its focus on innovation and technology.
