A breath of fresh air – Fumex & Lesjöfors

Clean air meets clever engineering - that’s the story behind the partnership between Fumex, the Swedish expert in fume extraction, and Lesjöfors.

Together, the two organizations are demonstrating how precision components and smart design can make workplaces cleaner, safer, and easier to work in.

Smooth movement, solid reliability

For more than 50 years, Fumex has been developing innovative solutions for air filtration and extraction. Their products, from compact local extractors to sophisticated filtration systems, are used around the world in laboratories, workshops, and production facilities. And at the heart of several of their flagship extractor arm systems, are Lesjöfors gas springs.

Effortless motion

Fumex’s arms are known for their outstanding manoeuvrability, allowing operators to position extraction hoods exactly where they are needed and keep it there.

That effortless motion comes in part from the Lesjöfors standard stock gas springs built into the design. The springs provide a perfectly balanced counterforce, giving the arms their smooth movement and dependable stability during daily use.

“Our collaboration with Fumex is a great example of how standard components can deliver exceptional results when paired with smart engineering,” says Per Lindros at Lesjöfors. “Their extractor arms show the precision, control, and reliability that our gas springs are designed to provide.”

Clean air powered by clever design

Fumex continues to set the standard in ergonomic design and air quality innovation. The integration of Lesjöfors gas springs ensures that these products not only perform efficiently but also feel effortless to operate.

“Lesjöfors gas springs are an important part of the performance and feel of our extractor arms,” says Lars Johansson, Sales Manager at Fumex. “They help our customers work comfortably and safely, every day.”

The collaboration between Fumex and Lesjöfors is built on shared values of quality, reliability, and continuous improvement. By combining Fumex’s design excellence with Lesjöfors’ proven gas spring technology, both companies are helping industries breathe a little easier – in more ways than one!

On display

At Elmia Subcontractor 2025, visitors will have the opportunity to see this partnership in action. Fumex will be demonstrating the performance of their extractor arms, and the crucial role Lesjöfors gas springs play within their design, on the Lesjӧfors exhibition stand at A06:12.
