Clean Air Is As Essential As Clean Water

Camfil’s mission is simple: to make clean air a human right – just like clean water.

Clean Air Is As Essential As Clean Water

Every day, humans eat around one kilogram of food, drink two litres of water, and breathe up to 15 kilograms of air. Why is it then, that we take care of the food we eat and the water we drink, but rarely consider the air we breathe? The World Health Organization estimates that every year, 6.5 million people die from disease caused by indoor and outdoor air pollution – that’s one in nine global deaths. And nearly 90 per cent of these deaths occur in low to middle-income countries, particularly in Asia–Pacific.

For more than half a century, Camfil has been dedicated to clearing the air – literally. A global leader in the air filtration industry, Camfil develops sustainable clean air solutions to benefit human health, increase performance and reduce energy consumption within four main segments: comfort air, clean processes, power systems, and safety and protection. With 26 manufacturing plants, three research and development sites, local sales offices and more than 3,800 employees, the company’s presence is worldwide. 

Headquartered in Sweden, Camfil is already a market leader in Europe and North America, while growing investments have made it the fastest growing clean air solutions provider in Asia–Pacific. Since its entry into the region 10 years ago, Camfil has four production units – in Dubai, India, Malaysia and China – and subsidiaries in Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, New Zealand and Australia. Executive Vice-President of Camfil Asia–Pacific and the Middle East, Dr Suresh Balan has helped grow Camfil by more than 40 per cent since coming on board in 2015, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
