the story of Ekten

Ekten, d.o.o. was formally established in 1996 and started in a small rented workshop where we produced various filters.
Until 2000, the work was mostly done with small subcontractors. Co-owners were employed in the company at that time. In 2001, we built our current business premises and a hall for our own manufacturing process, thus obtaining the basic requirements for the development of our company.

Today, we are mainly involved in flue gas cleaning in the field of metal equipment for the glass industry, the insulation materials industry, foundries and other heavy industries, in the field of crushing and conveying technology, quarry equipment and more.
In recent years, due to the typification of the filter manufacturing sector and the decline in demand for such products, we have focused on the development of customised purification systems.
Today, the majority of our turnover is accounted for by exports to Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Scotland, England, Malaysia, America, etc.

Because we care for our environment, we will continue manufacturing more advanced air purifying systems in the future. We would like to develop digital support with control systems which allow for a smart operation of extensive cleaning systems. We intend to follow trends in the field of sustainable development.
