Nilfisk Corporate Backgrounder
Nilfisk-Advance America (Malvern, Pa.) is one of the fastest-growing subsidiaries of the Nilfisk-Advance Group (Denmark). Backed by nearly a century of vacuum cleaner expertise and technology innovation, Nilfisk-Advance America is among the world's premier providers of high-performance industrial and specialty vacuums. The company's vacuums have been selected by the U.S. Postal Service for biohazard collection, by the U.S. Department of Defense for hazardous material collection, and most recently for asbestos collection at Ground Zero.
Nilfisk-Advance America's vacuums help plant and facility managers in industrial manufacturing environments solve their cleaning challenges. The vacuums' exceptionally efficient filtration systems use a series of graduated filters to collect and retain up to 99.999% of particles down to and including 0.12 microns in size. Oversized main filters enable workers to collect large quantities of dust and debris for long periods of continuous operation; optional HEPA exhaust filters prevent dust from escaping into the environment, safeguarding employee health.
Supporting a Broad Range of Industries
Nilfisk-Advance America's vacuums are used in heavy-duty industrial manufacturing applications that require maximum suction power; and in clean applications that demand 'absolute' air purity. Typical industries include:
