What Airthings does
Airthings is a Norwegian indoor air quality technology company founded in 2008 by CERN scientists, headquartered in Oslo with offices in the US and Europe. The company designs and sells connected hardware that combines proprietary radon detection with multi-sensor air quality monitoring — its flagship View Plus integrates seven sensors (radon, CO2, PM2.5, VOCs, temperature, humidity, and pressure) in a single device, while dedicated products like Corentium Home 2 (Bluetooth radon detector), the Wave series, and View Radon target specific use cases. Airthings monetizes through four streams: one-time consumer hardware sales (ranging $179-$329 USD), professional-grade instruments such as Corentium Pro (~$1,200 CAD), recurring Business dashboard subscriptions with API access, and ancillary services including calibration (priced at $135-185 CAD per device) and professional rental and training programs.
The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce with localized stores across 10 countries, a 50-unit-minimum reseller/distributor channel, and a growing enterprise sales motion targeting commercial real estate and facility managers. The Airthings mobile app and Business dashboard provide real-time analytics, trend visualization, and HVAC optimization inputs that the company claims deliver 20-50% energy savings in commercial buildings via building automation integration. The company serves three primary customer segments: individual homeowners (300,000+ households, 1.5M+ monitors cumulatively), commercial real estate/facility managers, and radon professionals requiring certified, calibrated equipment. Airthings held ISO27001 certification (2025), EcoVadis Gold for sustainability (2023), and TIME Best Inventions and CES Innovation recognition.
Airthings was previously listed on Merkur Market (2020) and Euronext Oslo Børs before completing a restructuring and delisting on 12 February 2026 to return to private ownership. The company is led by CEO Ivar Kroghrud, with CFO Helge Øien departing by June 2026 after also serving as acting CEO during the recapitalization. Key partnerships include Energy Control (building automation, expanded April 2026) and Truemed (HSA/FSA reimbursement in the US).
