Pirate-busting QR code on Bitzer spares

Extending its fight against counterfeiters, compressor manufacturer Bitzer has added QR codes to the packaging of its original spare parts. The German company has previously announced action against product pirates selling counterfeit compressors and fake oils. Bitzer compressors have been equipped with QR codes for an authenticity check  since 2015; this service will now be phased in for most Bitzer Original Spare Parts as well. By scanning the code, users can check the authenticity of their products plus obtain further relevant information.
