What deconta group does

deconta GmbH, operating as deconta group, is a German specialty industrial manufacturer of decontamination, hazardous-substance remediation, and air purification equipment, headquartered in Isselburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, and operating since 1998 as a subsidiary of the Schauenburg Group (Schauenburg International). The company is organized into three business divisions: "safety" (Schad- und Gefahrstoffsanierung — asbestos and building pollutant remediation including negative pressure units, personnel and material airlocks, water management, and measurement technology), "rescue" (CBRN-Schutz — chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear protection equipment for civil protection, disaster relief, and military applications), and "pure air" (air purification systems targeting virus, bacteria, dust, and fine-particle reduction in crowded spaces). Its product portfolio includes the ECO-NEXT personnel airlock, the Ecoline series of material/personnel airlocks (models 900, 1000, and 1400), the ASPIMAX industrial vacuum, the Micro Containment System (co-developed with LEG Immobilien SE), and the AirSampler Connect air sampling device.

The company operates a B2B sales-led model combining direct sales with wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in Switzerland, France, Italy, and Spain plus an e-commerce shop for accessories. Revenue streams include one-time equipment sales, a rental fleet (Mietpark), spare parts, repairs and maintenance contracts, custom engineered solutions (Sonderlösungen), contract sheet-metal manufacturing (Blechbearbeitung), and training services. The Isselburg production site is characterized by high vertical integration and an extensive equipment park, enabling individualized and special solutions that pure distributors cannot offer. Marketing combines multilingual web presence (DE/EN/FR/IT/ES plus Swiss variants), downloadable product catalogs, trade fair participation (Interschutz 2026, PolluConf 2025, Hausmesse 2026), and industry association membership. The company is ISO 9001 certified, holds registered trademarks across its brand identities (deconta, safety, rescue, pure air, ECO-NEXT, Ecoline, ASPIMAX, AirSampler Connect), and is led by Managing Director Volker Reidegeld.
