Tradition and History
1972The Kronsbein family start the familiy tradition of developing and manufacturing and developing high performance compressed air filters and purification components.
1979
The previous company becomes the first in the world to introduce the three-part filter housing.
1983
The development of the binder- free filter media establishes the
foundations for the future success of the previous company.
1986
Dipl.-Ing. Dean Kronsbein initiates the next strategic goal and founds
ultratrockner Energietechnik GmbH, Haan, with the objective to develop and
produce innovative adsorption dryers. These innovative drying
systems reduce the energy consumption by 50%. At the heart of the
adsorption
dryer is the self-adjusting load dependent control. ultratrockner
Energietechnik GmbH is the first company in the world to combine
adsorption dryer, pre- and afterfilter in a compact cabinet
design. During
the following years ultratrockner Energietechnik GmbH becomes the
leading international
manufacturer of compressed air adsorption dryers.
1993
To satisfy the rising demand for absolute clean, dry and oil free
compressed air, Dipl.-Ing. Dean Kronsbein develops the oilfreepac. With this
system, even oil-injected compressors produce a better compressed air
quality than oil free operating compressors, with the added value of
lower operating costs.
1997
In addition to innovative products the previous company offers a comprehensive
service package. More than 60 qualified service technicians provided compressed air services close to their customers.
1999
Dipl.-Ing. Dean Kronsbein is nominated as Entrepreneur of the Year out of 3000 industrial companies.
2001
Dipl.-Ing. Dean Kronsbein founds Ultra.air GmbH as a provider of energy optimised
compressed air solutions to the industry. An exclusive agreement with
EON to market the new product EON-Ultra.air is concluded.
2006
With the growing demand for reducing the energy costs of compressed
air, the newly founded Ultrafilter GmbH develops high efficiency filter
elements using nano-technology, which require a 70 % lower energy
consumption.

Ultrafilter GmbH takes over the energy and compressed air consultant
group Ultra.air. With this integration, Ultrafilter offers their
customers the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the
Ultra.air competence in all aspects of compressed air (from the source
of energy to the point of use).
Ultrafilter GmbH is a family owned company, managed by Dipl.-Ing. Dean Kronsbein.
