HOW IT ALL STARTED
It is 2016 and, as with all good stories, ours begins with a single small idea: there must be an alternative to extractor fans… Interior designer Thomas Brunauer couldn’t stop thinking about the idea of a mobile air purification device suitable for everyday use – and the idea for OZONOS was born!
CEO Fredy Scheucher was initially sceptical. “At the beginning, I didn’t believe it would work myself. But when I walked into the kitchen the morning after a busy evening of cooking schnitzel and roast potatoes, and smelled nothing but fresh, clean air – I knew: this was a device that should be in every household!” A lot has happened since then…
