Our mission
Our air purifiers protect you daily by offering you healthy and eco-friendly air:
- Healthy air 24/7 to protect you against pollution that, inhaled in small but daily doses, turns into a risk factor for your health and wellness
- Greener, cleaner air with solutions designed and manufactured locally, which assure the lowest carbon footprint throughout their life cycle
TEQOYA links the notion of technology (tech.) and the power of nature (Sequoia*) while evoking healthy air.
* The Sequoia purifies the air by emitting ions through its needles.

A bit of history
A few years before creating TEQOYA, Pierre Guitton (its future founder), whose daughter suffers from asthma, tested and experienced the benefits of an air ionization system developed by Jacques Breton. Professor at the University of Bordeaux and member of the New York Academy of Sciences, Jacques Breton spent more than 15 years studying air ionization: the generation of negative ions in the purest environments on the planet, and their action on aerosols. He developed this new technology to emit large amounts of negative ions without generating ozone or any other hazardous chemical substances. However, his technology remained largely unnoticed for several years. In 2014, during a peak in air pollution in Paris, Pierre Guitton decided to create TEQOYA and share this technology with as many people as possible.
Local manufacture
Our main goal is to design and manufacture of eco-friendly products. To do so, we ensure the respect of the planet at each step. That's why we have chosen to manufacture our products locally.
In fact, TEQOYA designs and manufactures its air purifiers in France and partly in the Spanish Basque Country, always less than 500 km from its factory in Villandraut (Bordeaux region, France).
Company based in the Pays de la Loire region and the French leader in the technique of multi-support and multi-coating. The wood used in our air purifiers comes from a certified and eco-friendly industry.
Company located in Angers, specialized in the development of tools and the manufacture of high-quality technical parts. The plastic used for the casing of our products is 100% recyclable and the proportion of recycled material is increasing regularly thanks to the development of new channels in France.
Based in Villandraut, this company is the european leader in the paper-based packaging sector. The packaging of our products is also eco-responsible: raw, reusable and consumes as little ink as possible.
Other than our plant in Villandraut, the assembly is also carried out by AJC Développement (Angers, France) and by SITEC (San Sebastian, Spain).
We control each step of the production, assembly and quality process of our products. Some steps are carried out internally in our factory or outsourced, depending on product references and volumes.
Thus we value the know-how of local companies to permanently combine product quality and take into account the environmental impact throughout the life cycle of our air purifiers.
TEQOYA wishes to go even further to offset the carbon impact associated with the manufacture of its air purifiers: committed alongside the association Semeurs de Forêts.
