In September 2018, AirBench celebrated 25 years in business. Since beginning operations as WorkPoint Environments back in 1993, the company has supplied in excess of 10,000 dust and fume extraction units to customers across the UK, EU, and worldwide. The AirBench name change came into effect in February 2011 and since then the AirBench brand has been the ‘go-to’ name for downdraught dust and fume extraction.
A family run business, AirBench has grown from its humble beginnings as a small contracting firm supplying dust extraction equipment from across a range of suppliers; to focus on its own small range of products designed to solve specific problems for industry.
The initial AirBench range of downdraught benches has grown to include a much wider range including one of the UK’s most advanced downdraught bench, the AirBench RP. A range of cross-draught systems (VertEx) and dust control booths; coolant mist filters (OMF); and air cleaning systems (MF) are also manufactured by the business.
With some of its staff having been with the company since the very early days, it can offer a continuity of customer service that is unrivalled within the industry; and a network of distributors outside the UK that ensure AirBench products are available in all key areas.
As always, AirBench continues to offer on-site demonstrations of its products across the UK including assessments of dust or fume extraction issues.
