What Airtech Japan does

AIRTECH JAPAN, Ltd. (日本エアーテック株式会社) is a publicly traded Japanese industrial manufacturer (TSE Standard Market, ticker 6291) founded in March 1973 that designs, manufactures, and services clean air and contamination-control systems. The company is positioned as Japan's only specialized clean air system manufacturer, with a product portfolio spanning ISO Class 3–9 cleanrooms, air showers, pass boxes, clean booths (MCB, SS-MAC, EC-MAC), Class IIA2/IIB2 biosafety cabinets, aseptic isolators, BSL-3 biohazard containment rooms, Cell Processing Facilities (CPF) for regenerative medicine, aseptic operating and treatment rooms, air curtains, and the newly launched C30CR cleanroom robot vacuum. Core technology is built on HEPA/ULPA filtration (in-house filter production since 1995), DC brushless motor fan filter units (SS-MAC, EC-MAC series), laminar flow and turbulent-mixing cleanroom environmental control, and patented pulse jet nozzle technology for air showers. AIRTECH generates revenue from four streams: (1) clean air system hardware sales (custom cleanrooms, standard catalog equipment), (2) professional services including design, construction, validation, and qualification, (3) recurring maintenance, consumables, and spare parts distributed through the AIRTECH DIRECT SHOP e-commerce platform, and (4) technology licensing royalties from seven overseas partners across China, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, South Korea, and India. The company operates a vertically integrated footprint of six domestic manufacturing sites (Soka, Kazo, Koshigaya, Isesaki, Akagi Smart Factory, Clean Supply), 16 domestic sales and service offices covering all major Japanese regions, and supports customers across semiconductor/LCD, pharmaceutical/cosmetic, hospital, regenerative medicine, food manufacturing, BSL-3 biohazard, and university/research institute verticals.
