Fuchs Umwelttechnik
a short overview of our history
2024
40 years of Fuchs Umwelttechnik!
Our anniversary is, for us, confirmation and incentive to continue to offer the best in extraction and filtering technology in the future. Since 1984 we have been listening to our customers and devoting our entire know-how to their problems. The ideal basis for developing tailor-made, top-class solutions against all kinds of air pollutants.

Sustainability and energy efficiency – now in focus everywhere, has already been a principle at Fuchs Umwelttechnik for a long time
Thanks to thought-out engineering and intelligent airflows, our long-lasting extraction and filter devices achieve excellent extraction results while using as little energy as possible. Some of our devices stay in operation here for decades.
2021
Capture technologies are developed and manufactured for complete air purification in meeting rooms and offices
A permanent room air purification system has been developed for health protection at office workplaces as well as for larger rooms. Targeted airflow creates a draught-free, efficient and permanent distribution of purified air in the room. At the same time, germs, bacteria and other air pollutants are filtered continuously.
2020
Pandemic: Fuchs Umwelttechnik becomes a systematically relevant supplier
Production carries on without interruption during corona. Numerous innovative and efficient anti-virus filter technologies are developed.
2019
Fuchs Umwelttechnik celebrates its 35th company anniversary
The department of Laboratory, Research and Development is expanded. A new 3D printer is purchased, opening up new opportunities.
2018
Setting up the Fuchs Umwelttechnik laboratory
An innovative field has been launched. In addition to examinations, tests and analyses from ongoing production, new developments and special projects are conceived, designed and tested here.
In the interests of permanent optimisation for the customer, flow behaviour can be examined, sensors measured, adsorption capability on gas filters checked or experiments with sound and noise reductions conducted among other things in the Fuchs Umwelttechnik laboratory at the state of the art.
