Many filtration solutions promise clean air. But not all deliver, especially over time.
At Absolent, we do more than claim performance. We design it, measure it, and prove it. Day after day. Year after year.
For more than 30 years, we have developed industrial air filtration solutions that help create cleaner, safer, and more efficient workplaces. That work requires expertise across our entire organization, from air analysis and engineering to production, logistics, sales, installation, and service.
What makes Absolent different is not always visible from the outside.
Inside our filters are carefully selected materials, proven technologies, and decades of engineering knowledge. Behind every solution are people who analyze, calculate, design, quote, assemble, transport, install, and service our systems.
Together, we make sure our customers get the right filtration solution for their application, regardless of its size or complexity.

Patrik Damner, Quotation Engineer
Education
High School, Industrial Program – Process Technology.
What is your role at Absolent? I work as a quotation engineer on custom-designed units. In this role, I create technical drawings and BOM structures in both 3D systems and ERP to ensure that the documentation is complete and accurate. Once everything has been checked and finalized with the customer, I calculate the sales price and compile the final quotation.
In addition, I’m constantly working on improvement initiatives, focusing on developing work methods and optimizing designs to reduce product costs and create a more efficient workflow at Absolent.
I’m also part of the technical support team, where my responsibilities range from providing support for older units to developing plant layouts and performing the associated pressure drop calculations.

Martin Hjälm-Wallborg, Product Manager
Education
Mechanical Engineer, Uppsala University
What is your role at Absolent?
I work on determining which product portfolio we should offer and how it should be priced in the market. Before we launch a new development project in R&D, I work to identify and specify which product(s) we should develop and what requirements they must meet. Close collaboration with our sales organization and our existing customers is a key part of this process, as their feedback and experiences provide crucial input for commercial product planning. Equally important is internal collaboration with our in-house departments for R&D, marketing, purchasing, and production – where I work to ensure that we can meet our customers’ needs to the greatest extent possible while also ensuring that we can develop, market, and manufacture our products effectively.
I also work to assist our customers when we receive requests for customizations of our existing products, often as part of larger projects where we leverage the strengths of our modular product portfolio to create solutions that address the customer’s challenges..
What is the best part of working for Absolent?
It’s an expanding, global company operating in an industry that offers products making the world a better place. It’s easy to stand behind Absolent’s products with a clear conscience, and since they’re often world-leading in terms of technology, it feels especially rewarding! Absolent has also managed to attract a great group of employees who complement each other well and make every day at work enjoyable.
What is your best advice for today’s students?
Try to gain a broad perspective in your studies and choose your thesis topic carefully; meet with and discuss opportunities with several companies. It’s also important to be curious, hardworking, and driven – both in your studies and in your career. I’d also recommend taking on part-time jobs while you’re in school, if you have the time; work experience is worth its weight in gold, and having professional contacts is invaluable once you’ve finished your studies.
