Our core challenge is to adapt to our clients’ evolving needs and to regulatory changes across every country we serve—so we can deliver ever more innovative, high-performing products.
To make this happen, we rely on in-house Innovation and Engineering teams that study each client project and deliver complete, custom solutions.
We firmly believe every worker deserves a safe workplace.
That’s why we operate in strict compliance with current regulations and pursue continuous innovation—delivering effective fume-extraction and ergonomic solutions tailored to each client’s specific needs, whatever the workshop constraints, welding process, or workstation type (manual, automated, or robotic).
For every project we handle, our account managers prepare detailed technical files including site installation drawings, airflow sizing, filtration, and all required equipment.
Each technical package is then handed over to the client, and we support them throughout the installation of the solution.
Our teams are driven by core values: innovation, expertise, proximity, cohesion, and adaptability.
These values inform everything we do and help us maintain high standards of quality and service. Our welding fume extraction experts advise, support, and train clients at every stage of their projects.
