Aldes takes a stake in the Start-Up Teqoya

This operation is perfectly consistent with its strategy, the main objective of which is to contribute to the design of healthy living spaces for the greatest number of people.

Founded in 2015 under the leadership of Pierre Guitton, its co-founder and president, TEQOYA manufactures air purifiers in France, using its patented ionization and electrofiltration technologies to eliminate polluting microparticles and aerosol vectors of infections. This innovation makes it possible to purify the air permanently, without the production of ozone and without consumables. Awarded at the French Touch Conference 2016 in New York, selected for the French Tech Tour China by BPI France and Business France, the start-up now generates more than 70% of its turnover from exports, in particular in China.

This partnership will result in the integration, from 2021, of TEQOYA technology into the ventilation and air purification solutions developed by the ALDES Group for residential and tertiary buildings.

For the start-up TEQOYA, the presence of the ALDES Group at its side allows it to benefit from the commercial power of an international group present in a large number of professional and consumer markets.

"We are very proud of this made in France partnership which enriches our development policy towards efficient technologies." declares Stanislas LACROIX, CEO of the ALDES Group "It is perfectly in line with our raison d'être, our strategy and our RevolutionAIR movement, carrying our commitment in favor of strengthening the consideration of indoor air quality and its impact on health."

For Pierre GUITTON, president of TEQOYA, "The entry of the ALDES Group into the capital of TEQOYA testifies to the quality of the relationship between the two companies for almost two years. We are very happy with this transaction which demonstrates the quality and relevance of our technologies, and confident in the potential of the products we are developing together to improve the air quality in our living spaces. "

This equity investment is part of the ALDES Group's innovation and development approach, which intends to enter into other partnerships with start-ups in its ecosystem.
