Our company, Fenchurch Environmental Group, was founded over 20 years ago to offer a range of air filtration products and solutions to all industries including medical, domestic appliance, safety and ventilation. We currently employ over 450 people across our seven divisions including development, research, sales and manufacturing. Our wholly-owned manufacturing sites are based in the UK and China, and it is in the UK where we engineer, develop and manufacture our Elipse safety respirators.

Using our expertise in air filtration, we are offering a new type of safety respirator that has high filtration efficiency and is slim in profile design and compatible to wear with other types of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as visors. The product was designed for improved fit and comfort during use. After several years of development, we decided that we should bring this product to market under our own brand, “Elipse.”

With warehousing across Europe, additionally we now have storage premises in North America.
