DAVIDSON, N.C. and PLYMOUTH, Mich. and ROLLE, Switzerland, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE: IR), a global provider of mission-critical flow creation and industrial and life science solutions and Garrett Motion (Nasdaq: GTX), a global leader in differentiated turbocharging and electrification technologies for mobility and industrial applications, today announced a multiyear strategic partnership to develop next generation oil-free air technologies designed to deliver greater energy efficiency, performance, and reliability for customers across key end markets, including food and beverage and life sciences.
The partnership builds on Ingersoll Rand’s leadership in compression technology, including its industry‑leading compressor platforms, proprietary system‑level innovation, and deep application expertise, combined with Garrett’s advanced oil‑free centrifugal compressor modules. Together, the global organizations will focus on oil-free innovation that helps customers reduce energy consumption, improve process efficiency, and support sustainability goals in critical industrial applications demanding 100% oil-free air.
These benefits are particularly critical within food and beverage and life sciences industries, where reliability, air purity, and performance are essential, and will bring a superior alternative to existing compressor solutions.
“This collaboration reflects our continued focus on delivering differentiated solutions that create superior value for our customers,” said Vicente Reynal, chairman and chief executive officer of Ingersoll Rand. “By working closely with Garrett Motion, we are strengthening our ability to innovate at the system level and address markets where performance, purity, and efficiency are non-negotiables, helping customers operate more efficiently and sustainably.”
