about as much electricity as a conventional light bulb.” The air purifiers building on Genano’s technology have been in production since 1999. They were initially developed for hospital use but are now widely used all over the world in a wide range of business areas such as offices, clinics, shops, restaurants, clean manufacturing areas, schools and nursing homes.
“Our technology has of course been improved during the years, so that the
units are much smaller and lighter today,” Skogster says. “Genano 350 weighs only 17 kilos, so it is truly mobile and can also be hung on the wall.”
Return to normal
During the first six months of the COVID-19 crisis last year, many companies declared that remote working would be the new normal. But after over a year of struggling with the COVID-19 remote work blues, the attitude has changed. According to KPMG’s 2021 CEO Outlook Pulse Survey, only 17 per cent of the CEOs surveyed are still thinking of downsizing their company’s physical footprint on a permanent basis. In a similar survey in August 2020 the number was as high as 69 per cent. “Because of COVID-19, we have had a tremendous boost in our sales during
the last 12 months, but the world is still a long way from what could be called a ‘normal’ situation”, Skogster says. “The transition to a more normal working situation could, however, be sped up by using efficient air purifiers much more widely than today.” Skogster points out that the decontamination units are future-proof and that
they could greatly improve both the health of the employees and the profitability of a company when times are more normal again. “Viruses come and go, but no matter what type they are and how they mutate,
they don’t survive the 25,000 volts that our air purifiers discharge”, he says. “A study by Laboratoire National d’Essai in France shows that the microbes in the air were completely destroyed half an hour after the device was switched on. The bottom line is that healthier people work more effectively.”
