Simon Ingersoll founded Ingersoll Rock Drill Company in 1871 in New York, and in 1888, it combined with Sergeant Drill to form Ingersoll Sergeant Drill Company.
Also in 1871, brothers Addison Rand and Jasper Rand, Jr. established Rand Drill Company with its main manufacturing plant inTarrytown, New York. Rand drills cleared New York's treacherousHell Gate channel and were used in the construction of water aqueducts for New York City and Washington, D.C., as well as tunnels inHaverstraw andWest Point, New York, and inWeehawken, New Jersey.
In 1905, Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Company merged with the Rand Drill Company to form Ingersoll Rand.
In the 1920s, Ingersoll Rand supplieddiesel engines for locomotives built by bothGeneral Electric andALCO.[3]
Robert Gardner founded the Gardner Governor Company in 1859 inQuincy, Illinois and introduced an early effective speed controls forsteam engines.[4] This innovation, known as theflyball governor, helped pave the way for the later production of other industrial products such asair compressors. By the turn of the century, the company had sold more than 150,000 governors across the United States and Canada.
The Gardner Governor Company merged with the Denver Rock Drill Company in 1927 to form Gardner-Denver.
Gardner Denver grew during the early decades of the 1900s and transformed through acquisitions. In 1943, Gardner Denver was listed on the New York Stock Exchange for the first time.
In the late 1950s, merger negotiations withDresser Industries yielded no agreement, and the same outcome occurred withCooper-Bessemer. In 1979, Gardner Denver was acquired by C-B's successor,Cooper Industries Inc. In 1994, Cooper spun off the Gardner Denver Industrial Machinery Division as an independent company. Gardner Denver Inc traded on the New York Stock Exchange until it was acquired by private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. in 2013. Gardner Denver returned to public ownership in 2017 through an initial public offering.
Flowserve purchased Ingersoll-Dresser Pumps, a business unit of Ingersoll-Rand Co., for $775 million in the year 2000, creating the world’s second largest pump company. (https://www.flowserve.com/en/about-flowserve/company/history/)
In April 2019, Ingersoll-Rand Plc and Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc. jointly announced an agreement through which Ingersoll Rand's Industrial segment would be spun-off and merged with Gardner Denver in aReverse Morris Trust transaction. The merger transaction was completed on February 29, 2020.
When Gardner Denver completed its initial public offering in May 2017, it granted deferred stock units to substantially all permanent employees. The grant had a value of approximately $100 million.
Following the merger in 2020, the company granted stock units worth approximately $150 million to substantially all of its 16,000 global employees that had not already received equity-based incentive awards. The amount of the equity grant, equal to approximately 20% of its employee's pay, was one of the largest equity grants ever given to employees in an industrial company.[5]
As of July 2021, Ingersoll Rand operates with two business segments.
In April 2021, a controlling interest in its High Pressure Solutions segment was sold to American Industrial Partners for $278 million.
In June 2021,Club Car, previously Ingersoll Rand's Specialty Vehicles Technologies segment, was sold to Platinum Equity Advisors for $1.68 billion.
In October 2022, Ingersoll Rand announced it would acquire Everest Group, an India-based manufacturer of blowers and vacuum systems and Airmax Groupe, a French manufacturer of compressed air systems.[6]
In February 2024, Ingersoll Rand acquired Friulair, a company out ofFriuli,Italy which specializes inchillers anddryers. Ingersoll Rand paid a lump sum of $146 million.[7]
