What ensutec Products GmbH does

ensutec Products GmbH is a privately held German industrial technology company headquartered in Langenenslingen, Baden-Württemberg, founded by managing shareholder Thomas Mayer around 2004-2005 and operating with a small core team supplemented by active recruitment across field service, sales, and technical manufacturing roles. The company designs, manufactures, and services a proprietary line of airmatic coating optimization equipment built on its patented EMP (Elektro-Mechanische-Partikel) atomization technology, comprising three primary systems — airmatic-Zerstäubungsoptimierung for material and energy efficiency, airmatic-Funktionserdung for electrostatic applications, and airmatic-Revolution for humidity-controlled spray air — together with the fematop 2901 sacrificial coating for paint booth gratings and the femaBlue 2901 consumable additive.

The technology targets industrial spray-coating operations across automotive OEM and tier-1 suppliers, body and paint aftermarket, glass, plastics, aerospace, powder coating, wood, leather, pharmaceutical/food, and forming/molding operations, with documented customers including BMW, Magna, Continental, Siemens, Claas, Gerresheimer, and Verescence, and an installed base exceeding 700 systems worldwide. Performance claims — 5-20% paint savings, 15-30% compressed air energy reduction, up to 100% furnace energy savings in some applications, and 80%+ paint booth cleaning cost reductions — have been independently validated through a 2017-2018 DBU-funded research project with Hochschule Esslingen.

Revenue is generated through a combination of one-time equipment sales (modular retrofit systems), recurring annual maintenance contracts with warranty extensions, consumable replenishment (femaBlue 2901), spare parts, and a newly launched ensutec-engineering consulting service for compressed air optimization. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with quote-based pricing, augmented by trade show presence (Axalta networks, CII Expo India, Lac-Tec), web seminars, trade publication coverage, and government-funded program support (KfW, BAFA), with no identified distribution or reseller channel.

Core offering

ensutec Products GmbH develops, manufactures, and sells proprietary airmatic coating optimization systems that improve paint and coating atomization, electrostatic application efficiency, and process reliability in industrial painting operations. The portfolio includes airmatic-Zerstäubungsoptimierung (atomization optimization), airmatic-Funktionserdung (functional earthing), airmatic-Revolution (humidity-controlled drying), and the fematop 2901 sacrificial coating for paint booth gratings. The company also offers maintenance contracts, spare parts, personal training, Augmented Reality support, and compressed air consulting services through ensutec-engineering.

Product overview

ensutec Products GmbH is a German coating technology company offering a portfolio of airmatic systems centered on its proprietary EMP (Elektro-Mechanisch-Pneumatisch) technology for paint atomization and electrostatic coating optimization. The core product line consists of three main airmatic systems: (1) airmatic-Zerstäubungsoptimierung (atomization optimization) — the foundational EMP-based system that improves droplet size distribution, transfer efficiency, and reduces paint consumption; (2) airmatic-Funktionserdung (functional earthing) — an add-on module for electrostatic applications that reduces Faraday cage effects and improves wrap/penetration depth; and (3) airmatic-Revolution — a moisture-management system using femaBlue 2901 additive and nanotechnology reactor to humidify atomizer air for year-round process reliability and accelerated drying. Supporting these systems, fematop 2901 is a sacrificial coating for paint booth gratings, while ensutec engineering provides consulting on compressed air supply optimization. The company also offers hand-application, automatic-application, and robot-application variants, along with services including maintenance contracts, personal training, Augmented Reality support, spare parts, and funding program assistance.
