FILTRACON

What FILTRACON does

FILTRACON AG is a Swiss industrial air-filtration company headquartered in Oensingen, founded in 2011, that designs and builds customized filtration systems and related services for industrial customers. Its product portfolio spans multiple application-specific lines: FC AD iQ and FC DP iQ for industrial vapors, gases, dust and welding smoke; FC PrintPRO for additive manufacturing / 3D printing emissions; O'Miracle for oil-mist separation; FC ChipVac and FC OilVac for oil and chip extraction in machining; and FC ATM cyclone-based pre-separation. The technical platform is modular and configured to each customer's process, with engineering, installation and commissioning delivered in-house and the option to rent or operate equipment under managed-service contracts.

The company addresses industrial buyers across pharmaceutical, food, metal and plastic processing, watchmaking, additive manufacturing and battery production, providing one-time equipment sales alongside recurring service revenue streams. Its service offerings include FILTRACHECK, an on-site measurement and air-quality diagnostic service intended to identify filtration needs and feed equipment sales, and FILTRACARE, a maintenance and modernization program covering consumables, retrofits and operational support across the installed base. Custom 'special solutions' projects (turnkey planning, installation and operation) and equipment rentals supplement the standard catalog, supporting both capex-constrained buyers and complex integration projects.

FILTRACON goes to market through a consultative B2B sales motion targeting mid-sized Swiss industrial firms as well as larger multinationals (Jabil is publicly referenced as a customer). Commercial material is available in German, English, French and Italian, and the company supports clients in both Switzerland and neighboring jurisdictions, indicating an intent to operate cross-border within the DACH region. Pricing is project-based for equipment, contract-based for FILTRACARE service agreements, and rental-based for short-term or capacity-flex needs; the diversified mix of verticals and revenue types partially offsets customer-level concentration risk.
