Germany-based MANN+HUMMEL Group, a filtration specialist with revenues of 4 billion euro and 20,000 employees at 80 locations globally, has announced the launch of the ‘OurAir’ brand in the Indian market.

OurAir offers indoor air quality solutions that combine MANN+HUMMEL’s 77 years of filtration expertise with digital innovation. These solutions are based on smart devices, where air quality monitors, filters, purification and ventilation systems, integrate seamlessly with the OurAir digital platform. With OurAir solutions, building owners, facility managers and tenants can “know, improve and manage” the air quality in commercial buildings.

“Access to clean air is vital for well-being. Unfortunately, air pollution in India continues to pose a serious challenge. Based on a WHO ranking of particulate pollution in cities in 2018, 14 of the 20 cities with the highest levels were located in our country,” said Pradeep Randhawa, Managing Director, MANN+HUMMEL India.

“We are paying a high price for this, where 30 per cent of all premature deaths today are due to air pollution. As a company MANN+HUMMEL wants to contribute. While it is challenging to eliminate outdoor air pollution, there are effective solutions to ensure good air quality indoors, where we spend up to 90 per cent of our time,” he added.

To mark the OurAir launch in India, MANN+HUMMEL sponsored the inaugural ‘Air Quality Expert Series’ in Bengaluru. Commenting on the India launch, Jason Tang, Vice-President of Intelligent Air Solutions, MANN+HUMMEL said: "German engineering companies have a reputation for being focused on quality, down to the finest detail. I would like to think that MANN+HUMMEL and OurAir live up to this reputation.”

“There are many factors that affect indoor air quality in buildings and offices. MANN+HUMMEL provides solutions for real-time air quality monitoring, and digital platforms to analyse, predict and manage the optimisation end-to-end. This is anchored in our deep expertise in filtration to achieve healthy air quality more effectively and efficiently. We help our customers make smarter choices to enjoy better air," he added.
