What Teqoya does

Teqoya SAS is a French designer and manufacturer of filterless air purifiers and ionizers, headquartered in Villandraut in the Bordeaux region, with products assembled and quality-controlled in-house from mostly French and nearby-European suppliers within approximately 500 km of the factory. The company was founded in 2014/2015 by Frédéric Yeh and Pierre Guitton and is privately held with no disclosed institutional investor; share capital is EUR 13,000 (RCS Bordeaux 808 694 772).

Teqoya's technical platform rests on two patented technologies: ozone-free negative-ion air purification (electrostatic precipitation at 1.5 W, originally developed by Prof. Jacques Breton of the French Academy of Sciences) and, introduced in 2022 after three years of R&D, e-filtration (electrofiltration) that captures ionized particles on polarized plates in a washable filter. The product portfolio includes the T200 (bedrooms/small rooms), T450 (large rooms), Nomad (vehicles), and E500 (high-pollution/professional use) ionizer/electrofiltration units, the S1 connected air quality sensor, and CMV air inlet filters for building ventilation systems. The company holds 7 patents and reinvests over 20% of revenue into R&D, with validation partnerships across five CNRS laboratories (LOCIE, LASIE, EM2C, LCS, IMAP) and independent certifications from CERTAM, INTERTEK, KCL Korea, Sapienza University, and the Guangzhou Testing Center.

Teqoya generates revenue primarily through direct hardware sales via its own e-commerce storefront (teqoya.com) with worldwide delivery and a 30-day satisfaction-or-refund guarantee, supplemented by consultative enterprise sales for verticals such as offices, nurseries, retirement homes, dental/medical practices, workshops, transport, hospitality, and sport. The company markets through content (5-language multilingual SEO, an air-quality magazine, video testimonials, Trustpilot reviews) and event-driven co-innovation (EDF Pulse & You). Named enterprise logos include Beaumanoir Group (Shanghai), Dynveo, and the SOLIDEO-selected Paris 2024 Olympic Athletes' Village installation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; products carry a 5-10 year warranty, consume ~15 kWh per year, and are positioned as a no-filter, long-lifespan (10-year) alternative to HEPA-based purifiers.

Core offering

Teqoya designs, manufactures and sells ozone-free air ionizers and dual-technology air purifiers under the TEQOYA brand, including the T200 (bedrooms), T450 (large rooms), Nomad (vehicles), E500 (e-filtration for polluted environments), and the S1 air quality sensor. The company sells both directly to individual consumers through its e-commerce storefront and to institutional buyers (offices, healthcare, hospitality, transport, professional sports) through consultative enterprise sales, with worldwide delivery and a 30-day satisfaction-or-refunded guarantee.

Product overview

TEQOYA offers a range of air purifiers and ionizers made in France, featuring two main technologies: ozone-free negative ion ionization (T200, T450, Nomad) and dual-technology e-filtration combining ionization with electrofiltration (E500). The product portfolio targets different use cases: T200 for bedrooms and small rooms, T450 for large rooms, Nomad for vehicles, and E500 for high-pollution environments and professional use. An S1 air quality sensor enables connected monitoring and automatic control of purifiers. All products operate without disposable filters, using low energy (1.5W), and carry a 5-10 year warranty.

Peers

• Airfree: Airfree空気清浄機: TEC concept and TSS technology destroy microorganisms through controlled high-temperature thermal sterilization.

Direct peers

• IQ Air: Swiss premium air purifier manufacturer known for high-performance HEPA-based systems for residential and professional use. Directly comparable to TEQOYA on premium positioning, global e-commerce distribution, and enterprise/professional market focus.
• Blueair: Swedish/Swiss-owned premium air purifier brand (now part of Unilever) selling HEPASilent technology to consumers and businesses worldwide. Closest direct competitor in the premium, design-forward, global B2C+B2B air purifier category.
• Winix: Korean air purifier manufacturer selling 4-stage HEPA + plasma/ion air purifiers globally at mid-to-premium price points. Comparable on product architecture (combining filtration with ionization) and on global e-commerce distribution.
• Rabbit Air: US-based premium air purifier brand focused on design-forward, quiet, energy-efficient units for residential and light commercial use. Comparable on premium positioning, design-led brand, direct-to-consumer e-commerce model, and energy-efficiency narrative.

Broad incumbents

• Dyson: Global premium consumer appliance maker with a substantial air purifier line (Purifier Cool/Heate/Humidify). Competes broadly with TEQOYA in residential IAQ, but at much higher price points and with a fan/HEPA-based architecture rather than ionization.
• Sharp: Japanese electronics conglomerate with a long-standing line of Plasmacluster ion-based air purifiers. The most direct large-scale precedent for ionizer-based consumer IAQ products and a clear reference point for TEQOYA's go-to-market model.
• Philips (Versuni): Multinational consumer electronics and appliance brand with a significant air purifier line (now operating under the Versuni umbrella). Competes with TEQOYA in residential IAQ at scale, with a much broader product portfolio and global retail distribution.
• Coway: South Korean home appliance leader and one of the world's largest air purifier sellers, with strong distribution across Asia. Competes broadly with TEQOYA in residential and small-business IAQ at multiple price tiers.

Emerging players

• Molekule: US-based premium air purifier company using PECO (photoelectrochemical oxidation) technology, an alternative non-HEPA approach to air purification. Comparable as a science-led, alternative-technology challenger to HEPA incumbents targeting premium consumers and allergy/asthma sufferers.
