THE HISTORY OF AIRPURA
-
Founded in 2004 in Quebec, Canada, by Helder Pedro, the president of Airpura. Helder identified the need for clean indoor air after seeing how the declining outdoor air quality was affecting the air in our homes and ultimately, the negative impact this was having on people’s health. Since people spend more than 90% of their lives indoors, he realized this was a huge health risk and decided to do something about it. He developed a prototype for an air purifier which was able to filter out all of the allergens, chemicals, bacteria and viruses from the air, leaving only clean air. Since then, the company has developed the 600 series of air purifiers, featuring several models with the innovative and patented filtration system featuring three levels of powerful filtration able to filter out 99.97% of airborne chemicals, microorganisms, smoke, etc., as small as 0.3 microns. All units are manufactured at the facilities in Laval. Airpura strives to have the smallest environmental footprint possible, while creating an air purifier that delivers unparalleled performance.
