ALMOST 120 YEARS OF BOGE

From pioneering work to compressed air specialist

In 1907, Otto Boge founded the company, starting out by selling door closers manufactured by his brother. After the First World War, Otto Boge quickly made a name for himself with special tools for the fledgling automotive industry and with motorcycles. Eventually, BOGE became a specialist in compressors and compressed air systems...
