- CNTUS Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based advanced materials and filtration technology company primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, and commercialization of high-performance filter media, personal protective equipment, and environmental lifestyle products. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company operates across multiple specialized business divisions, including Filter Media, Consumer Lifestyle and Healthcare, Industrial Materials, and Strategic Investments. The company's core product portfolio encompasses melt-blown nonwoven filter media; high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and ultra-low penetration air (ULPA) filtration media for residential and commercial air purification systems; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) filters; automotive cabin air filters; industrial dust-collection and vacuum filtration media; and specialized liquid filtration fabrics. Through its flagship consumer brand, AER, the company designs, manufactures, and markets premium respiratory protective masks, including KF94, KF80, anti-droplet, and functional sports respirators; residential water filtration products, including filtered showerheads, sink faucet filters, and multi-stage replacement sediment and carbon cartridges; and specialized automotive cabin filters. In addition, the company produces high-performance thermal and acoustic nonwoven insulation materials for automotive interiors and industrial machinery. CNTUS maintains manufacturing facilities and research laboratories in South Korea, including key production plants in Busan and Icheon, and conducts international operations and manufacturing through its overseas subsidiary in Vietnam. In recent strategic developments, the company rebranded from CNTUS-SUNGJIN Co., Ltd. to CNTUS Co., Ltd. to reflect its comprehensive corporate evolution from an industrial filter manufacturer into a global environmental wellness and advanced materials enterprise. CNTUS has also expanded its business scope through the establishment and active deployment of its corporate venture capital division, CNTUS Investment, targeting strategic acquisitions and growth investments in biotechnology, health-tech, and next-generation functional materials. Furthermore, the company has broadened its international sales footprint by extending direct-to-consumer and cross-border e-commerce distribution for the AER brand across North America, Japan, and Southeast Asia, while expanding original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and original design manufacturer (ODM) supply partnerships with global appliance and automotive manufacturers.
