What Zaack does
Zaack is a French indoor air quality (IAQ) technology company, founded in 2017 as the wholly-owned Research and Innovation subsidiary of IGIENAIR Group, headquartered in Achères in the Paris region with a team of approximately 10 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and sells connected IoT monitoring stations for indoor air quality, built around three registered product lines: Zaack QAI® (an 11-parameter multi-pollutant station measuring CO2, NO2, O3, CO, TVOC, PM1/PM2.5/PM10, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure with dedicated per-pollutant sensors), Zaack DUST® (a LoRa-based device for continuous dust monitoring inside ventilation ducts with a 3-year battery runtime), and Zaack CR® (a cleanroom monitoring station holding the world-first ISO 21501-4 certification for a low-cost particle sensor, developed with Piera Systems).
The underlying technology stack combines European-manufactured sensors assembled in France, LoRa and cellular connectivity transmitting data every 30 seconds to a Google Cloud-hosted platform with 5-year rolling RGPD-compliant data retention, deep-learning analytics enhanced by outdoor Open Data for predictive IAQ modelling, anomaly detection and threshold-based alerting, and an open API for integration with Building Management Systems (GTC/BMS). Zaack CR® also references ISO 14644-1 cleanroom classification.
Zaack generates revenue through a multi-stream model combining one-time hardware sales, equipment rental/hiring subscriptions (with a €2,500 HT deposit per device), recurring cloud data subscriptions, and professional services including personalised consultation, installation, annual laboratory calibration, and predictive maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales, supported by IGIENAIR's network of approximately 30 service agencies across France, with international expansion signalled through GITEX AFRICA (Marrakech), GITEX GLOBAL (Dubai), and Expo 2020 Dubai. Named enterprise customers include Fnac Darty, Fondation Louis Vuitton, ACCEO, Aptar Pharma, and Eiffage, spanning retail, cultural, services, pharmaceutical, and construction sectors. A key regulatory tailwind is the French QAI ERP compliance obligation effective January 2025, covering schools, nurseries, elderly care homes, leisure centers, and juvenile facilities.
