Roxia

What Roxia does

Roxia Oy is a privately held Finnish industrial filtration company headquartered in Lappeenranta, Finland, specializing in dewatering and solid-liquid separation solutions for the mining, minerals processing, metallurgy, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, power, and incineration industries. The company designs and manufactures a portfolio of pressure and vacuum filtration equipment centered on its proprietary Tower Press family (TP60, TP16, TP) — vertical pressure filters that use diaphragm compression for high-moisture-reduction dewatering — and Ceramic Disc vacuum filters utilizing aluminum oxide membrane elements. These core products are complemented by the Smart Filter Press with integrated automation, pilot rental units for customer qualification, and a digital layer comprising the Roxia Malibu IIoT monitoring portal and Smart Filtration turnkey connectivity solution that enable remote process visibility and predictive maintenance through 3D plant visualization.

Roxia operates a global field-sales go-to-market organized by region (North America, South and Central America, Europe, China, Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Australia/Oceania), with direct sales directors and a network of regional channel partners including AquaChem (Central Europe), Soliqva Partners (MENA), Powerflo Solutions (Australia), and Central Asia coverage. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time capital equipment sales, OEM-quality spare parts (plate seals, plate packs, cloths, diaphragms, ceramic elements) sold for both Roxia and competing brands, professional lifecycle services (inspections, refurbishment, modernization, process optimization), laboratory filtration testing, and an emerging subscription/recurring digital stream via Roxia Malibu. Named enterprise customers include Boliden Kokkola, Mondo Minerals B.V., and EKJH, with the mining and minerals processing vertical serving as the primary segment.

The company is led by Chairman of the Board Mikko Juuti and operates with 101-250 employees, more than 40 years of filtration engineering heritage, and a cumulative installed base of 56,757 products delivered to 221 customers worldwide. Roxia has a related environmental technologies brand, Vuoxi, focused on industrial water treatment, extending its platform into adjacent water and wastewater applications for process industries.
