ULT AG

What ULT AG does

ULT AG is a German family-owned manufacturer of industrial air extraction, filtration, and adsorption drying equipment, headquartered in Löbau, Saxony, and operating since 1992. The company designs and produces modular systems — including the ULT 200.1 and LAS 260.1 extraction and filtration lines and the ACD 200.1 gas/vapor unit — that capture airborne pollutants such as laser fumes, soldering fumes, industrial dusts, odors, gases, and vapors at industrial workstations, alongside adsorption air dryers for process-air dehumidification. Proprietary technology layers include the ULT ProSight digital control platform with OPC-UA machine communication, Energy Saving EC blower architecture (~17% power reduction versus market standard), Silent Technology (45-47 dB operation), Safe Change contamination-free filter exchange, and a multi-stage filter stack (F9 pre-filter, HEPA H14, activated carbon). Production, assembly, and R&D are conducted at the Löbau site, with the company holding ISO 9001 certification and WEEE registration (DE 42863881).

ULT serves 13 industrial verticals — additive manufacturing, automotive, battery cell production, chemicals, electronics manufacturing (flagged as primary), plastics processing, medical technology, metalworking and mechanical engineering, food and luxury foods, pharmaceuticals, restoration, bulk goods, and process engineering — via a B2B sales-led motion combining direct sales (phone, email, contact form), regional authorized distributors, and an inbound content apparatus (Expert Center, webinars, podcast). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of standard and customized systems, custom-engineered solutions developed in cooperation with customers, and recurring service, maintenance, and spare-parts contracts. Pricing is quote-based and configuration-dependent; no public price list is disclosed. The company is led by a family board (Dr. Stefan Jakschik, CEO; Alexander Jakschik) with an independent supervisory chair (Dr. Alexander Ruf), operates without external institutional investors, and confines its stated geographic footprint to the DACH region.
