What Jeven does
Jeven Oy is a Finnish specialist manufacturer of professional-kitchen ventilation equipment, headquartered in Mikkeli, with secondary sales/design operations in Espoo. Founded in 1989 and now part of the Absolent Group, the company designs and supplies kitchen hoods (UV-Turbo, UV-JPT, Turbo, Condensation JSKI/JKI, and JCE cyclone-filter hoods), the JTA TurboSwing ventilation ceiling, a family of displacement supply-air diffusers (Deco.O/L/H/D/U/R), roof intake and exhaust devices (Kompass, Lumikilpi, Passjet, Pyramid, Ufojet, Katjet, Kate, Dragon), dampers (Inno, Sava), and complementary offerings such as AirMaid ozone treatment and Ansul R-102 fire suppression. The technical platform is anchored by proprietary TurboSwing mechanical grease filtration, ozone-free UV-light (UV-Turbo) air treatment, JCE cyclone grease extraction (rated 99%), and a TurboFlow VAV automation layer (FX-SC, RELE-SC, SwingControl / UV-SwingControl monitoring units) with Modbus TCP/IP building-automation connectivity and a Bluetooth/Wi-Fi-connected mobile app (Jeven Flow).
Jeven serves restaurants and fine-dining venues, hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Sokos, Scandic, Hotel Birger Jarl, Holiday Inn), QSR chains (McDonald's, Taco Bell, Hesburger, Subway, Pizza Hut, Kotipizza), institutional kitchens (hospitals, schools, universities, monasteries, food colleges), grocery and hypermarket in-store kitchens (Lidl, Prisma, K-Citymarket), shopping-centre food courts (Kamppi Kortteli, Iso Omena M.E.E.T.), and food-production / industrial kitchens (e.g., meat processing). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise/project sales (Area Manager Niko Räikkönen in Helsinki, project engineers in Mikkeli, a dedicated Baltic-countries manager Dmitry Zhukov, and technical-sales/damper-export inside sales) with agency/distributor partners in the Baltics (Lindab AS, Lindab SIA, Uab Iventi) and a free-of-charge Jeven Designer Service that delivers airflow calculations and MagiCAD/CADMATIC-compatible product blocks. Geographic reach spans Finland as the core market, the Baltic states, and reference projects across Sweden, the UK, Denmark, Poland, Slovakia, and Austria.
Revenue mechanics are hardware-led and project-based (quote-based pricing with no public price list), with the Designer Service and Jeven Flow app functioning as funnel/retention tools rather than standalone revenue streams. The company does not disclose revenue, operates with an 11–50 employee band, and is private (Jeven Oy, Finnish Business ID 0753391-8). Pricing depends on hood configuration, project dimensions, accessories (e.g., KL/KLFE roof penetrations, insulation, fire suppression), and material (Magnelis standard or stainless steel). Ansul R-102 fire suppression is supplied in partnership with YTM-Industrial in Finland.

Jeven product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Jeven designs, manufactures, and supplies professional kitchen ventilation equipment, including kitchen hoods (UV-Turbo, Turbo, JCE cyclone, condensation), ventilation ceilings, supply-air diffusers, roof intake/exhaust devices, dampers, VAV automation systems (TurboFlow VAV), and monitoring units.

Product overview
Jeven (Jeven Oy) is a Finnish specialist manufacturer — part of the Absolent group — focused on professional-kitchen ventilation equipment. Its portfolio is organized as a platform of complementary product families rather than a single software product: kitchen hoods form the core (UV-Turbo, UV-JPT, Turbo, Condensation JSKI/JKI, and JCE cyclone-filter hoods with their JCE filter unit, plus the JTA/TurboSwing ventilation ceiling), supported by a supply-air diffuser family (Deco.O/L/H/D/U/R), roof intake and exhaust devices (Kompass, Lumikilpi/Snowshield, Passjet combined intake/exhaust, Pyramid, Ufojet, Katjet, Kate, Dragon), dampers (Inno, Sava), other offerings (AirMaid CGC ozone technology, Ansul R-102 fire suppression), and a control/monitoring layer (TurboFlow VAV system, FX-SC, Rele-SC, SwingControl / UV-SwingControl). The Jeven Flow mobile app links the monitoring layer to designers via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, while the Jeven Designer Service produces MagiCAD/CADMATIC-compatible BIM objects and airflow calculations. The company states it has been operating in kitchen ventilation since 1989.
