What Duroair does
Duroair designs and manufactures custom modular industrial air filtration and containment systems for manufacturing environments, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sweden-listed Nederman Group following its August 30, 2024 acquisition. The company's product platform is built around two core technologies: the DuroRoom retractable soft-wall or hard-wall modular enclosure (compressible to 20% of its extended length, configurable as positive, negative, or neutral pressure, with sizes up to 50'H x 65'W x any linear length) and the DuroPure patented six-stage filtration system that combines three particulate-collection stages with three gas-filtration stages including UV PCO, capturing 99+% of airborne hexavalent chromium, VOCs, and isocyanates while recirculating clean air without external ducting. Supporting the platform are DuroCap (vented modular filtration with 99.4% capture), DuroClean (ISO 6 clean room exhaust), DuroDust (non-vented dust collection), DuroTable (downdraft worktable), DuroTower (ambient air rotation, claimed 10x more efficient than traditional overhead cleaners), DuroDeployable (rapid-deploy military paint booth), and DuroCollector (2000–80,000 CFM cartridge dust collector).
Duroair sells exclusively through a direct enterprise and government field-sales motion with a consultative, engineering-led RFQ process; solutions are custom-engineered per customer requirements, manufactured at the Niagara Falls, Ontario R&D facility, shipped disassembled, and installed by company teams with follow-up compliance verification and recurring filter and maintenance service revenue. Target verticals are aerospace and aviation, military and government (US Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force, Space Force, National Guard, and Reserves — Duroair holds a CAGE Code and NSNs from the DLA), marine, metal fabrication, stone cutting, transportation, alternative energy, and lean-manufacturing operations. Named customers and case-study deployments include the U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine Program, AZZ Inc. (metal fabrication/military contractor), SOFI Space Operations, a global steam-turbine technology developer, a global energy equipment manufacturer, and a North American aerospace R&D facility. The company operates offices in New Baltimore, Michigan (US headquarters), Niagara Falls, Ontario (Canada R&D and manufacturing), and Köngen, Germany (European sales), with global reach now extended through parent Nederman's distribution network across 50+ countries.
Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Third-party certifications and validations include DCPH-A testing (Defense Centers for Public Health – Aberdeen), compliance with NFPA 33, NFPA 17, NFPA 701, OSHA silica standards (25 µg/m³), NESHAP 319, EPA 40 CFR Part 63.11173, ISO 6, and UL/ULC-listed control panels — collectively forming a regulatory moat that supports pricing power and government-procurement eligibility. Originally founded as Niagara Industrial Filtration (NIF) and rebranded to Duroair in 2012, the company has built its growth around a niche combination of retractable physical containment and non-ducted recirculating filtration rather than conventional ducted exhaust — a positioning particularly attractive to cellular manufacturing, shipyard MRO, and forward military deployments where permanent facility modifications are impractical.

Duroair product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Duroair designs and manufactures custom-engineered industrial air filtration and containment systems, including retractable soft-wall and hard-wall enclosures (DuroRoom) paired with multi-stage filtration systems (DuroPure, DuroCap, DuroClean, DuroDust, DuroTower, DuroTable, DuroCollector, DuroDeployable). These modular solutions isolate, capture, and contain airborne industrial hazards such as hexavalent chromium, VOCs, isocyanates, silica dust, and weld fumes, and are sold to industrial manufacturers, aerospace firms, military/government agencies, and other B2B customers.
Product overview
Duroair is a Nederman Company that designs and manufactures custom modular air cleaning systems for industrial applications. The product portfolio centers on two core platform technologies—the DuroRoom retractable enclosure (available in soft-wall and hard-wall variants) and the DuroPure six-stage filtration system—paired together to create controlled work environments. Supporting products include DuroCap (vented filtration), DuroClean (ISO 6 exhaust system), DuroDust (non-vented dust collection), DuroTable (downdraft table), DuroTower (ambient air purification), DuroDeployable (military-grade portable paint booth), and DuroCollector (high-volume cartridge dust collector). The modular architecture allows customers to combine enclosures with filtration systems tailored to specific processes including painting, coating, clean rooms, dust collection, welding smoke, oil mist, additive manufacturing, and non-destructive testing across industries such as aerospace, military, marine, and manufacturing.
