Cleanova, a leading global manufacturer of advanced industrial filtration solutions owned by UK equity firm PX3 Partners, has acquired two US-based filtration companies.
The companies are Airflotek and TES-Clean Air Systems. Founded in 1993, Airflotek designs and manufactures custom air filtration and controlled-environment systems used in state-of-the-art cleanroom environments worldwide, serving industries with exceptionally stringent air-quality requirements, including semiconductor manufacturing, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals.
Founded in 1986, TES-Clean Air Systems is the exclusive distributor of Airflotek products and brings decades of cleanroom and semiconductor application expertise, supporting a global customer base.
These acquisitions give Cleanova immediate entry into ultra-clean, controlled environments critical to AI-driven semiconductor manufacturing, the rapid build-out of data centres and high-performance computing infrastructure, and aseptic pharmaceutical and biotechnology production, where reliability, performance, and contamination control are absolutely mission-critical.
Airflotek and TES-Clean Air Systems bring deep expertise and industry-leading capabilities in mission-critical cleanroom and ultra-clean air filtration solutions.
Airflotek's customised fan filter units ("FFUs"), used in advanced cleanroom environments, deliver high-efficiency particulate air ("HEPA") and ultra-low particulate air ("ULPA") filtration to ensure that the stringent particle control required to protect sensitive processes meets demanding regulatory standards and reduces contamination-related risks.
These acquisitions represent the fifth and sixth acquisitions completed by Cleanova since 2023 and follow the strategic and transformative addition of Micronics Engineered Filtration Group in 2025. Airflotek and TES-Clean Air Systems will be consolidated into a single business within Cleanova.
Cleanova CEO, Chris Cummins, said both companies are outstanding strategic fits for Cleanova.
“Together, they strengthen Cleanova's position as the world's leading independent industrial filtration platform, delivering an even broader suite of high-performance, mission-critical solutions for our customers,” he said.
