ORIGINAL OR COUNTERFEIT?

For more than 80 years BITZER stands for innovation. But today counterfeit products are on the rise in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. Product forgers are brazen and they are criminals with a lot of resources. We detect more and more compressors and spare parts that are flooding into the market under the name of BITZER. Many compressors are looking similar to the originals, but they are of poor quality.

To avoid these risks and to protect our customers’ safety and our reputation as a leading manufacturer of refrigeration compressors, BITZER is taking a more proactive approach to dealing with counterfeits.

Produktpiraterie

To make sure that you have an original BITZER compressor

  • Scan the QR code
  • Open the link in your browser, which is always beginning with
    https://www.bitzer.de
  • "Checking successful" appears as confirmation that the devise is authentic
  • Compare serial number and the compressor model

BITZEROriginalteile

We fight product piracy seriously

  • We register all types of industrial property rights worldwide: patents, utility
    models, registered designs, brands and copyrights
  • We monitor announcements of industrial property rights around the world
  • We raise objections, take legal action and issue warnings about industrial property rights
  • We take action at trade fairs against product pirates
  • We place a QR code on every compressor – scanning the code, buyers are directed to the
    corresponding BITZER product page where they can verify the authenticity of the product
  • Don’t rely on bad counterfeits – choose innovation, highest quality, efficiency, safety
    and reliability instead!
