OberA is a French company based in Illkirch (Alsace), founded in 2017. The company designs and manufactures innovative solutions for industrial air treatment, including dust collection, vapor extraction, air purification, and cooling systems. With a 100% French production and a strong eco-conscious approach, their mission is to improve air quality on industrial sites to enhance health, safety, and operational performance. OberA offers flexible solutions such as trial-before-purchase and seasonal rental to meet our clients’ specific needs.
What are the main areas of activity of the company?
Our core expertise lies in four main areas:
- Dust extraction for dry particulate control
- Fume and vapor extraction from processes like welding or solvent use
- Air purification to reduce airborne pollutants and odors
- Evaporative cooling for thermal comfort in large industrial halls
- We serve a wide range of industries including manufacturing, logistics, metalworking, and food processing.
What’s the news about new products/services?
We’ve recently launched a modular air purification unit designed for plug-and-play installation in confined or changing environments. It’s particularly suited for temporary production lines or logistics hubs. In addition, our seasonal rental offering has expanded to include mobile cooling units, helping clients manage heat waves with agility and no capital investment.
What are the ranges of products/services?
At OberA, we offer a comprehensive range of industrial air treatment solutions, designed to meet the specific challenges of various production environments. Our products are grouped into four main categories:
Dust and fume extraction systems, which ensure effective capture of airborne pollutants directly at the source, improving air quality and protecting workers’ health.
Air purification units, equipped with multi-stage filtration technologies, ideal for reducing fine particles, VOCs, and odors in sensitive or confined spaces.
Evaporative cooling systems, an energy-efficient alternative to air conditioning, used to lower indoor temperatures in large facilities during hot periods.
Custom services, including air quality audits, system design and integration, maintenance, and flexible options like seasonal rental or equipment trials.
All our solutions are modular, scalable, and built for industrial performance, with a strong focus on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
What is the state of the market where you are currently active?
The industrial air treatment market is growing steadily, driven by stricter health and safety regulations, energy efficiency goals, and a broader awareness of workplace well-being. In France and across Europe, companies are increasingly investing in sustainable, high-performance air solutions.
What can you tell us about market trends?
We’re seeing three key trends:
- Demand for energy-efficient systems, especially evaporative cooling as an alternative to air conditioning
- Flexibility in acquisition, with increased interest in rental and “try before you buy” models
- Integration with smart industry technologies, where real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance are becoming essential
- These shifts align perfectly with OberA’s strategy and innovations.
What are the most innovative products/services marketed?
Our most innovative solution is a hybrid air treatment unit that combines dust extraction and cooling in one system, reducing both airborne contaminants and temperature simultaneously. Additionally, our OberA Smart Monitoring platform allows users to track air quality and equipment performance in real time, ensuring proactive maintenance and energy optimization.
What estimations do you have for the second half of 2025?
We expect a very dynamic second half of 2025, with projected revenue growth exceeding 20%, fueled by export expansion and strong demand in France. Our new production site will allow us to double our manufacturing capacity by year-end. We also anticipate a sharp rise in demand for temporary cooling solutions due to recurring heat waves, and increased adoption of our hybrid air treatment systems by major industrial players. OberA is entering a new scale, both in terms of volume and technological leadership.
