Western Europe and the US are the largest geographical markets. Manufacturing takes place at plants in Sweden, the US, Brazil, Japan and China.
Process systems
Munters offers engineered systems for energy-efficient air treatment and humidity management for a broad range of industrial processes which demand a high level of control. These deliver precisely conditions air at the appropriate volume, thus ensuring the highest safety, quality and efficiency in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, food, chemical products and a long list of other process-critical applications. The technology has been adapted to also remove solvents from emissions resulting from production processes. The systems provide air flows of between 10,000 and 150,000 m3 per hour. They are manufactured in the US and Germany.
Comfort systems
Munters offers energy-efficient systems that create a comfortable indoor climate by controlling both humidity and temperature in commercial and public premises. They prevent mold formation and thus minimize the risk of allergies and building issues. The systems are energy-efficient and have low operating costs in that they use a patented heat-exchange technology. The comfort systems can provide substantial air flows of up to 100,000 m3 per hour. Manufacturing primarily occurs in the US and Belgium.
Dehumidification and ventilation products
Dehumidification and ventilation products are primarily deployed for quality assurance in a number of areas. The products are sold as system solutions for protection against condensation, corrosion and rust in industrial applications and to prevent taste and odor contamination in the production of food. This product area also comprises standard products for dehumidification of air and ventilation of premises.
