Rensair raises $7m to establish clean air as a human right

Air purification specialist Rensair has completed a Series A financing round led by Hoxton Ventures.

The company - whose over 800 customers include CBRE, Disney, Morgan Stanley, PepsiCo, SNCF, and the UK National Health Service (NHS) - will use the funding to expand its presence across the world, introduce a broader product portfolio with IoT connectivity, and invest in marketing outreach.

The acquisition brings complementary filtration and IoT technologies, as well as established products such as the compact AirBubbl that supplies purified air to personal spaces and can be fitted to car seat headrests or mounted in driver cabins.

Hussein Kanji,  Partner at Hoxton Ventures, said: “Covid has hastened many organisations to proactively address indoor air quality issues to aid in a return to normalcy. Rensair is well positioned to meet the demands for this growing market.” 

“The pandemic has taught us that we cannot take air quality for granted, but airborne disease transmission is not the only reason to care about air quality”, said Christian Hendriksen, Co-founder and CEO at Rensair.

Heightened awareness of the benefits of Indoor Air Quality have already resulted in a number of high profile government initiatives around the world, including the White House’s ‘Clean Air in Buildings Challenge.’

Christian added, “The proliferation of environmental pollutants, a rise in drug-resistant bacteria, and the newly identified threat of airborne microplastics are all reasons to improve Indoor Air Quality.”  

Founded in May 2020 by Danish twins Christian and Frederik Hendriksen, Rensair is headquartered in London with operations in the UK, Europe, USA and Asia. The company’s unique combination of HEPA and UVC technology was originally proven in the Scandinavian healthcare sector and refined over two decades.

“Following the latest guidelines from the WHO and governments around the world, commercial buildings are under-ventilated. The same applies in healthcare facilities. New innovative solutions are required to bridge this gap and, with the fundraiser and Airlabs asset acquisition completed, Rensair is uniquely positioned to solve this problem.”
