Established in Shropshire in 1969, Filtermist's ethos is to protect people by ensuring cleaner, safer, more productive working environments. The company, part of the Swedish Absolent Group, provides an extensive range of products and services designed to ensure the air in production facilities is free from contaminants such as oil mist, oil smoke, dust, fume and VOCs. If left in the atmosphere airborne particles can be hazardous to health and can pose a fire and slip risk. Filtermist is best known for manufacturing a range of compact, quiet and efficient oil mist filters which are trusted by world leading manufacturers in more than 60 countries.

Filtermist specialises in providing effective bespoke dust and fume extraction solutions across a variety of different industries. This includes major projects in the recycling and waste management sector. Filtermist offers a wide choice of filter types and technologies, meaning we will always provide the most suitable energy-efficient system for specific needs.

A well-ventilated work place is an essential part of a healthy working environment. Filtermist provides ventilation systems which improve working conditions and can also increase productivity by supplying a constant flow of fresh air to the working environment. The removal of stale, and often very warm, air can promote fresher, healthier conditions in production areas. For example, the installation of simple roof extraction fans will reduce temperatures and allow fresh air to enter the building.

According to the HSE's Occupational Lung Disease in Great Britain 2017 report, 12,000 lung disease deaths each year are estimated to be linked to past exposures at work. This has led to increasingly stringent guidelines and statutory requirements for Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV).

Filtermist Systems provides effective solutions for all extraction requirements for companies operating in the woodworking industry - from mobile dust extractors, to complete wood waste to energy systems. Companies that undertake woodworking operations in the UK must adhere to COSHH regulations and ensure compliance with Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs). In February 2020, the HSE website stated: The WEL for hardwood dust is 3mg/m3 (based on an 8-hour time-weighted average). The WEL for softwood dust is 5mg/m3 (based on an 8-hour time-weighted average).
