From a traditional fan manufacturer to a global technology leader in air technology and heating solutions, ebm‑papst has grown alongside the markets, industries, and customers driving the transformation toward more energy-efficient fans and motors across APAC & MEA. Over the past decades, the company has continuously expanded its regional footprint, guided by its consistent “local for local” strategy, while strengthening local capabilities and investing in innovation to stay close to its customers and their evolving needs.
As ebm‑papst celebrates a series of milestone anniversaries across APAC & MEA in 2026, these achievements reflect not only years of business growth, but also enduring partnerships, entrepreneurial spirit and shared ambition that continue to shape the company’s journey and future across the region.
This year, ebm‑papst SEA proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary. Since its establishment in Singapore, the company has grown its presence across Southeast Asia, supporting customers in the region with energy-efficient air technology solutions for a wide range of applications and industries.
A key milestone in this journey was the establishment of the APAC Hub in Singapore in 2023, achieved through the expansion and transformation of the Singapore location. The upgraded site includes a modernised office, a future-oriented application laboratory and a customer experience centre, strengthening ebm‑papst’s ability to support innovation, sustainability and closer customer collaboration across the region.
These investments laid the foundation for ebm‑papst SEA’s digitalisation strategy, which came into sharper focus through the successful implementation of localised digital solutions in key projects. This trajectory underscores the company’s sustained commitment to innovation and its role as a regional leader in shaping the future of air technology.
The anniversary event on 10 July brought together long‑standing partners of ebm‑papst SEA alongside the company’s team to mark this milestone. Over three decades, the firm’s growth and transformation have been shaped by the unwavering support of its partners. In a sector where collaboration and expertise are critical, these relationships have positioned ebm‑papst SEA to deliver solutions that advance efficiency, sustainability, and long‑term success across the region.
This milestone was both a celebration of enduring partnerships and a reflection of ebm‑papst SEA’s own journey as a company. To mark the occasion, Mr. Thomas Schwab, Managing Director of ebm‑papst SEA and Vice President of Digital Services and Solutions, APAC & MEA, opened the celebration with a keynote address, stating, “These achievements reflect the very essence of ebm‑papst, a company driven by innovation, engineering excellence, and a deep sense of responsibility toward a more sustainable world.”
This was followed by remarks from Mr. Thomas Nürnberger, CSO of the ebm‑papst Group and CEO of Air Technology APAC & MEA, who added, “Looking ahead, we further accelerate to develop solutions for air movement that are smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable. The future belongs to those who innovate, collaborate and lead. And that is exactly what we at ebm‑papst will continue to do.”
Building on three decades of collaboration, ebm‑papst SEA will continue to work closely with partners and customers to deliver air technology solutions that meet the demands of a smarter, more sustainable future.
