IGEBA

What IGEBA does

IGEBA Gerätebau GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of professional fogging equipment, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Weitnau, Bavaria (Commercial Register HRB 2673, Kempten). The company builds three product families — thermal fog generators, ULV aerosol generators, and compression foggers — that disperse disinfectants, insecticides, fungicides, and sprout inhibitors as sub-20-micron droplets verified by laser measurement. Coverage spans portable units (TF 34/35, EVO 35 ACT, UNIPRO 2/5/10), stationary high-capacity rigs (TF 95/160 HD, U 15/40 HD-M), vehicle-mounted systems (CF 1 Car, U 15/40 HD-M), and supporting accessories such as the PORT 423 backpack sprayer, spinning-disk nozzle, and NEBOL fog-enhancer additive.

The technology stack is mechanical and fluid-dynamics-based rather than software-based: thermal units use oscillating gasoline-air combustion to vaporize oil- or water-based carriers, while ULV units use pre-compressed air to shear liquids into ultra-fine aerosols. The most recent product, UNIPRO 40 T-TOUCH (2026), adds a touchscreen, programmable workflows, weekly timer, integrated 75L mixing tank, and a 4.30 m telescopic mast — the first standardized automation tier in the lineup. The U 15 HD-M is independently validated against WHO equipment specification WHO/YBC/89.972 by the Vector Research Control Unit at University of Science Malaysia.

IGEBA sells direct to professional end users through inquiry-based website contact forms, supplemented by trade-show presence (IPM ESSEN, EuroTier), a multilingual brochure library in German/English/French/Spanish, and a YouTube tutorial channel. Revenue is generated exclusively through one-time hardware sales — there is no subscription, consumable subscription, or service-contract layer disclosed. Customer evidence is horizontal across six verticals: pest and mosquito control, disinfection/hygiene management, plant protection (greenhouse horticulture), potato sprout inhibition, stored-product protection, and odour control; named reference customers include Tully Nurseries (Ireland, horticulture enterprise), Meik Krüssel (German potato farmer, SMB), and Martin Schaertl (German horticulturist, SMB). The company is family-/private-managed: Iris Bongartz is the listed legal representative, with no venture or institutional ownership disclosed.

Core offering

IGEBA manufactures and sells professional fogging equipment — including thermal fog generators, ULV cold aerosol generators, compression foggers, and backpack sprayers — for pest control, vector control, disinfection, plant protection, potato sprout inhibition, stored products protection, and odor control applications. The equipment produces droplets under 20 microns (VMD) for optimal coverage and penetration, sold directly to commercial and professional users such as pest control operators, agricultural producers, and disinfection service providers.

Product overview

IGEBA Gerätebau GmbH manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of fogging equipment for pest control, vector control, disinfection, plant protection, and potato sprout inhibition. The product line consists of three main technology families: (1) Thermal Fog Generators (portable models TF 34, TF 35, EVO 35 ACT; stationary models TF 65/20 E, TF 95 HD, TF 160 HD, TF 160/150 HD) that produce dense fog clouds using combustion of gasoline-air mixtures for both indoor and outdoor applications; (2) ULV Aerosol Generators (electric models UNIPRO 2/5/10/40/40 T/40 T-TOUCH, NEBULO/NEBUROTOR; motor-driven models U 5 M, U 15 HD-M, U 40 HD-M) that produce cold fog with droplet sizes below 20 microns for indoor use in greenhouses, warehouses, and storage facilities; and (3) Compression Foggers (CF 1-BM, CF 1 Car) that use compressed air to produce fine mist. Supporting products include the PORT 423 backpack sprayer, ULV Rotationsdüse spinning disk attachment, and NEBOL fog enhancer additive. The company offers both standalone equipment and automated solutions with remote control and timer functions for commercial and professional use.
