Luwa Air Engineering marks its 90th anniversary this year, celebrating nearly a century of innovation, resilience and commitment to customers. Founded in 1935 by Hans and Walter Bechtler, Luwa (derived from Luft und Wärme “air and heat”) has evolved from pioneering early air-conditioning systems to delivering advanced, energy-efficient and sustainable climate control solutions for industries worldwide.

Today, Luwa operates from six global engineering hubs, combining Swiss precision with regional expertise. Its portfolio spans textile and nonwoven air engineering, industrial filtration and climate control systems that are supported by cutting-edge digital monitoring platforms. Solutions like the carbon-fiber axial fan reflect Luwa’s commitment to reducing energy consumption while improving performance and sustainability in manufacturing environments.

As part of the Nederman Group, Luwa continues to shape the future of air engineering through technological innovation, smart factory integration and low-carbon solutions. This milestone honors its heritage of quality and forward-thinking engineering, while reinforcing its mission to provide cleaner, safer and more efficient working environments for nonwovens industries across the globe.
