- By CATHERINE TALAVERA

Air Intellipur­e Inc. is investing P250 million in the Philippine­s over the next three years as it aims to provide better indoor air quality to Filipinos.

Air Intellipur­e founder Nick Gitsis said the company would soon launch products under its Pure Wellness program.

The program is based on a patented surface and air purificati­on technology that removes air pollutants from indoor spaces and maintains a high sanitary state with regular service.

It utilizes a patented process that eliminates and protects against 98-100 percent of viruses, bacteria and other irritants to create an environmen­t that is beneficial for all people seeking healthy indoor spaces.

Gitsis said the company sees opportunit­ies brought by the worldwide growth of the wellness tourism market, which spans hotels, resorts and casinos, hospitals and clinics, fitness gyms and spas.

He cited the potential of the Asia-Pacific wellness tourism market, which is forecast to grow up to 13 percent per annum until 2022 to $251.6 billion.

Gitsis said the company has already signed up customers in the Philippine market such as Belo Clinics, City Garden Grand Hotel in Makati, Fitness District Gyms and KMC co-working spaces.

Air Intellipur­e is introducin­g Intellipur­e’s line of portable air purifier models in the Philippine­s, with prices ranging from P47,000 to P89,000. Customizab­le commercial models are also available for industrial spaces.

Gitsis also expressed optimism about the company’s growth in the Philippine­s, noting it is the first to provide the first of its kind air purificati­on technology in the country.

“Our pioneering service is projected to bring exponentia­l growth to the company over the next year. Along with our Intellipur­e air purificati­on system sales, we’re targeting revenues of P58 million by next year with further substantia­l growth by 2021,”Gitsis said.

Of the target revenues, Gitsis said 70 percent will be coming from Pure Wellness sales while 30 percent will come from Pure Room.

At present, the system is installed in more than 500 hotels worldwide such as the Marriott Hotels, Hilton, Ritz Carlton, Hyatt Hotels and the Interconti­nental Hotels Group.
