From Skepticism to Success: Air Purification Proves its Value

Challenge: Dirty Goods and Dust in the Warehouse

Edström Logistics stores, handles, and distributes goods for other companies – so-called third-party logistics. With a growing number of customers in various industries, they manage many different types of goods, a need that has increased alongside the rise of e-commerce.

Different types of goods require different handling and conditions. When dealing with raw materials for the manufacturing industry, large amounts of dust and particles are generated, spreading throughout the indoor environment. Despite frequent cleaning, the company faced persistent issues with dirty goods and airborne dust.

“It’s important that the goods are clean and presentable when they reach the end customer,
and we needed to reduce the amount of work required for cleaning.”

— Mathias Niebel, CEO, Edström Logistics

 

Solution: A Test Installation with QleanAir

Initially, the team was skeptical about whether air purification could make a noticeable difference in a large warehouse with high ceilings. After consulting with QleanAir Scandinavia and conducting an air quality measurement, they decided to test the solution in Malmö.

Four QleanAir FS 70 units were installed in a limited area of about 3,000 m², where air quality issues were most severe.

“I didn’t think it would make as big a difference as it actually did – it resulted in
an enormous reduction in dust, and the effect was immediate.”

— Mathias Niebel, CEO, Edström Logistics

 

Results: Cleaner Air, Cleaner Goods, Happier Staff

The impact was clear and immediate. Dust levels dropped significantly, and the difference was visible not only on the goods but also in the air quality. The air felt fresher, had a different scent, and employees reported a more pleasant work environment.

“It was no doubt that we would keep the air purifiers and install them permanently.”

— Mathias Niebel, CEO, Edström Logistics

 

Today, Edström Logistics is glad they took the step to test air purifiers – something they were initially hesitant about.

“It costs money, but it’s definitely worth it. We are very satisfied; the air purifiers
have made a big difference – for both products and staff.”

— Mathias Niebel, CEO, Edström Logistics
