Neuman & Esser (NEA) was founded as a family establishment in Aachen, Germany in 1830. The abbreviation, NEA, stands for Neuman & Esser in Aachen. NEA is a manufacturer of reciprocating compressors and grinding systems for several industries, including oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical, food industry and renewable energy.
Neuman & Esser was founded as "J. L. Neuman & Cie. Maschinenfabrik" in 1830 during the Industrial Revolution.
Brothers Johann Leonard Neuman and Friedrich August Neuman started the company, "Gebrüder Neuman", in 1829, which was later renamed "J. L. Neuman & Cie. Maschinenfabrik" in 1830. During that same year, the Neuman's brother-in-law, Theodor Esser, became partner of the company. This emergence founded the name of the company, known today, as "Neuman & Esser". Friedrich August Neuman also worked in boiler construction, that also still exists today, in Eschweiler, under the name "FA Neuman GmbH & Co. KG".
In the beginning, NEA produced hydraulic presses, decatizing rollers, reciprocating steam-powered engines and napping mills. Additionally, NEA serviced defective existing machines of customers. In 1888, the company moved into a new and larger production hall in the Clasenstraße, near the Aachen West railway station. In the year 1891, Oscar Peters presided as the sole owner of the machinery factory. Since then, Neuman & Esser has been owned by the Peters family.
In the early 1900s, NEA expanded its product portfolio to include piston steam engines, reciprocating compressors, vacuums, liquid pumps and drying systems. Later, in 1930-1931, crushing plants followed. Neuman & Esser acquired the licenses for the construction of the Raymond pendulum roller mills from the insolvent company, Mehler. At the same time, NEA developed the first oil-free, dry-running compressor. The oil-free compressors became an increasingly important aspect of brewing in the food industry as well as in the chemical industry.
