Who is Absolent?

Absolent AB develops, manufactures and sells industrial systems for separating oil mist, oil smoke, dust and fume from process air. The product range includes machine-mounted oil mist filters (AW, A•mist), high-performance oil mist filters (A•erity), oil smoke filters (A•line, A•smoke, AE with Tilted Filter System and a HEPA H13 final stage with at least 99.95 % separation efficiency) as well as dust and fume separation (AD). The systems are available as stand-alone, machine-mounted or central solutions with duct connections and feature multi-stage filtration with self-emptying filter cartridges (Catch & Release). The portfolio is complemented by the A•smart IoT monitoring system, the A•saver energy simulation consulting service, as well as project analysis, installation, service contracts and training (Filter Academy). Typical applications include machining, forming/pressing, grinding, heat treatment, die casting, welding as well as the plastics, rubber, textile and food industries. Customers include Alcoa, Bosch, Volkswagen, Volvo and MAN. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Lidköping, Sweden, the company is part of Absolent Air Care Group AB (Nasdaq Stockholm First North) and has subsidiaries in, among other places, Germany (Sprockhövel), the USA, France, China, India, Japan, Switzerland and Italy.
