What Fuchs Aadorf does
Fuchs Aadorf Absaug- und Lufttechnik AG is a privately held Swiss industrial engineering firm headquartered in Aadorf, Switzerland, specializing in extraction technology (Absaugtechnik) and ventilation technology (Lufttechnik). Founded in 1953 as a construction and ventilation sheet-metal workshop, the company now operates with a team of approximately 14 employees covering management, extraction and ventilation engineering, production, and service, and holds ISO 9001 certification since 1998.
Its core offering spans stationary and mobile extraction systems, clean-air and raw-air dust collectors, industrial vacuums (Jet Stream), transport and clean-air fans, briquetting presses (volume reduction up to 90%), shredders, separators (cyclone, magnetic, discharge), fire and explosion protection (GreCon spark extinguishing, IPS7 ignition protection, flameless pressure relief, burst discs), and control systems with IXON Cloud-based remote maintenance (Fernwartung). Notable proprietary products include the FoxBox recessed ceiling multi-distributor (200+ installations) and the PROFI JET modular filter line. In-house production of pipe components, custom sheet metal, and fire columns enables bespoke fabrication at the Aadorf facility.
The business model combines hardware sales, project and installation services delivered under a general contractor (GU-Projektabwicklung) approach, and recurring maintenance contracts, alongside a small e-commerce shop for standard components. Customers are primarily Swiss industrial enterprises in manufacturing, wood and metal processing, surface technology, and commercial real estate — including Bühler, V-ZUG Kühltechnik, Weidmann, Diversey, and Hornbach. Effective January 1, 2026, Fuchs Aadorf becomes the exclusive Swiss distributor of the complete extraction and filter device portfolio of the German manufacturer Fuchs Umwelttechnik, extending its product reach through its enterprise field-sales channel.
