Portfolio
Clean Air Industries is a leading manufacturer of industrial air filtration and finishing equipment for manufacturing environments. Clean Air has been built through acquisition since 2021, though most of our companies have over 30 years of operating experience.
Clean Air’s Industrial Air and Finishing operating divisions have separate manufacturing, engineering, and service teams with shared resources in sales and marketing, going to market through a valued network of independent distribution partners.
Pine Crest’s investment in Clean Air offers a proof point for our playbook: acquire founder-led businesses, professionalize operations, expand distribution, and build durable aftermarket revenue.
What We Do
Industrial Air Division
Our business was originally formed in August 2021 with the acquisition of Clean Air America in Rome, Georgia. Since that time, we have added great equipment and better team members with the Amtech line of dust collectors and Fume Dog, a premier solution in portable fume collection. These pieces collectively formed our Industrial Air division and rebranded as Clean Air Industries, providing solutions for dust, oil mist, and weld fume collection for industrial manufacturing and trade school environments.
- Industrial Air Filtration Equipment Cartridge style dust collectors for applications in dust, oil mist, oil smoke, and weld fume extraction in manufacturing environments.
- Portable Weld Fume Extractors Fume Dog portable weld fume extractors, frequently sold through eCommerce channels via quick ship programs.
- Weld Lab Ventilation Equipment Weld fume extraction equipment built for trade schools and community colleges.
- Aftermarket & Services Replacement filters, installation, and ongoing service.
Finishing Division
In 2025 we joined forces with RTT Finishing Solutions in Rockwall, Texas, a leading manufacturer of paint booths, ovens, and finishing equipment. RTT’s strong reputation is built on quality, responsiveness, and a willingness to provide engineered solutions, primarily for industrial manufacturing applications.
- Finishing Equipment Paint booths, spray booths, ovens, washers, AMUs, and complete finishing system components.
- Aftermarket & Services Bag filters, installation, and ongoing service for finishing equipment.
The Clean Air Flywheel
Each acquisition makes the next one easier.
More scale brings more cross-selling. More cross-selling attracts more distributors. More distributors expand the reach of the next acquisition. And on it goes.
Underneath it all sits the highest-value piece of the business: filters. Clean Air equipment runs on Clean Air filters. That vertical integration turns equipment sales into a growing annuity stream of revenues for us and our distributor partners.
- More Scale Add products and volume organically and through strategic M&A.
- More Cross-Selling Sell a broader offering through existing and acquired distribution.
- More Distributors A wider product portfolio attracts more distribution partners.
- More Acquisition Appeal A larger network and richer synergy potential makes Pine Crest the natural buyer for the next opportunity.
