'''Elektrobau Mulfingen GmbH & Co. KGaA''' is the parent company of the '''ebm-papst Group''', a manufacturer of electric motors and fans. The group was formed in 2003 from the merger of the companies ''Elektrobau Mulfingen GmbH & Co.

The fans are mostly based on external rotor motors, since these enable the implementation of particularly compact axial, centrifugal and diagonal fans.<ref name=":0" /> They have axial or centrifugal impellers with diameters ranging from around 20 mm to over 1250 mm and are also developed in-house. Cross-flow fans, such as those used in façade ventilation, are also part of the offered products. The fan wheels are either made of plastic, metal, or a combination of both. This combination enables strength while retaining their conventional variable moldability.<ref name=":5" />
Ebm-papst presented the ''HyBlade'' fan series for the first time in 2007, which improved the noise behavior and efficiency of large axial fans.<ref>Lindl, Bruno (2010-04-21).

Due to the three-dimensional shape of the fan blade, it was possible to achieve a higher level of pressure stability for axial fans. The air performance curves are steeper than those of comparable axial fans and operate with high efficiency even with increasing back pressure. These were mainly used in ventilation and air-conditioning appliances.
