About SEKA

SEKA can be found wherever it is too dusty, where the air is too dangerous to breathe and represents a serious health hazard.

The company based in Landau, Germany, has recognized the signs of the time at an early stage and has developed into a specialist in all fields concerning protective ventilation. The history of SEKA is characterized by a spirit of invention. The success of the company is based upon innovative solutions, patented technologies and a constant flow of new ideas.

SEKA success on a large scale...

We were able to equip the biggest Caterpillar fleet in Europe with more than 100 vehicles...

History:
Pioneering the development of protective ventilation

The beginnings of SEKA date back all the way to the seventies. At that time the machine designer Lothar Müller owned a small workshop in Altlußheim in the Pfalz region of Germany and developed ultrasonic welding systems for the packaging industry. But the increasing awareness for our environment in the eighties opened up completely new business activities.

Award-winning technology

SEKA is able to point to numerous solutions which are unique on the market and provide protective ventilation at the highest level. One award SEKA received for its outstanding accomplishments was the Innovatin Award 1998 of the Rheinland-Pfalz region.

Leading on a demanding market

SEKA is an ongoing success story. With more than 100 vehicles we have equipped the biggest Caterpillar fleet in Europe. The biggest European landfill also relies on SEKA technology for protective ventilation. Just as the biggest company in Germany specializing in the disposal of asbestos. SEKA protective ventilation systems can be found on the biggest construction machines as well as on mini excavators.

Driving force in the technological development

When it comes to protective ventilation SEKA ist listed among the first addresses. We provide protective ventilation systems since 1988 and were the first vendor offering systems confirming to the ZH 1/84 standard of the German Civil Engineering Cooperative TBG. We were actively involved in the definition of this standard and are regular participant of the meetings of the Technical Committee of the TBG.

...but also in small dimensions...

Milestones:
New technologies, innovative impetus

SEKA is one of the pioneers in the field of protective ventilation. We not only developed one of the first systems for industrial applications. Within a quarter of a century we also developed into one of the leading vendors in this field. This development was characterized by numerous innovations which led to several patents.

...as well as very special fields...

Philosophy:
Focus on human health

Securing the health of humans at the workplace is not only a major task of society. For SEKA, it is a real challenge calling for creative solutions on proven technologies. For more than a quarter of a century we concentrate on the driver cabin of construction machines and guarantee clean air even in highly contaminated environments.

...as well as unusual ones...

Maintaining performance and health

Employees who are constantly exposed to contaminated environments will sooner or later suffer serious health impairments. The consequences are limited responsiveness, decreased performance and increased absence due to sickness. But that’s not all. Exposure to such situations over prolonged periods of time can also lead to chronic illnesses.

Health risks are liability risks

Any company is responsible for the physical well-being of its employees. This calls for specific measures to protect their health while they are working in hazardous areas. Not only for ethical reasons, but also to eliminate uncalculable liability risks. SEKA is dedicated to protect employes from possible health risks, thus limiting the entrepreneurial risks for its customers.

Setting new technological standards

SEKA is dedicated to be a major driving force in the protective ventilation market. Not only as far as the development of new technologies is concerned, but also when it comes to developing the respective standards. For this reason, we regularly participate in the meetings of the Technical Committee of the German Civil Engineering Association in order to actively take part in developing the legal framework.

...and other "hot" issues.

Constant dialogue:
With the practitioners on site

When it comes to the protective ventilation of construction machines, SEKA is considered a vital driving force. We do not only strive for the constant improvement of solutions and technologies. We also engage in a close dialogue with the users of our products. After all, the best ideas are always ideas that help people while the best solutions are those derived from real-life experiences.
