COR pumps + compressors AG, located in Stuttgart, Germany, develops and markets pumps and compressors based on its unique COR® technology. Using the COR® system technology to develop positive displacement pumps or compressors is a fundamentally new way of engineering and brings forth a new generation of pumps and compressors. Since this new technology allows the parameterization of free form surfaces, it has a great deal of potential for other areas of mechanical engineering as well. During the product design process, surfaces and bodies are adapted to mechanical, hydraulic and/or pneumatic requirements. The company's COR® software tools allow statements concerning future performance of the aggregate to be made before it is even built and tested. After deciding which product design option will be pursued, prototypes are built and subsequently tested in COR pumps + compressors AG's own lab before being delivered to the client for potential further testing. In addition, COR pumps + compressors AG can also provide clients with PC-monitored long-term endurance runs at their request.
