From compact, high performance, electronics cooling fans to energy efficient, light industrial applications, EBM-Papst is the world's leading fan and motor manufacturer and has pioneered the introduction of energy-saving, technologically advanced air movement solutions.

Employing nearly 12,000 people in 18 production facilities and 57 sales offices worldwide, its products are used extensively across many industries including IT/ telecommunications, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, refrigeration, domestic appliances, industrial engineering and automotive.

EBM-Papst's GreenTech programme underlines its commitment when it comes to environmental protection. The GreenTech idea reflects a simple but clear philosophy that goes back to the company's principle: Each new product that we develop has to be better than its predecessor in terms of economy and ecology.

At the heart of GreenTech is EBM-Papst's extremely energy-efficient EC technology. And this is where the first direct benefit to the customer can be found. If less energy is consumed, costs for electricity will be lower. But that is just the start, for EC technology also means that the motors and fans can be controlled, regulated, and are thus able to respond flexibly to the performance requirements actually encountered.

Another bonus of the electronics is brushless commutation. This allows the company's EC motors and fans to operate completely wear-free, so they are much quieter, suffer no drop in performance and have a much longer service life. So, while customers reduce their electricity bills day by day, at the same time they also benefit from extended maintenance intervals, which means even greater cost savings for parts and labour.

RS offers a wide range of Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC), fan and thermal management products and accessories from EBM-Papst.
