  • Fumex AB acquires Jan Plymoth AB

    On September 30, 2026, Fumex AB acquired Jan Plymoth Fabriksförsäljning AB. Following the acquisition, Plymoth becomes a subsidiary of Fumex AB and will continue to operate as a separate company under the Plymoth brand. The acquisition is part of Fumex’s long-term strategy to grow its business and expand its offering of air extraction and filtration solutions.

    Fumex and Plymoth develop products and systems for air extraction and filtration. The companies have complementary product lines and international distribution networks in several areas, creating opportunities for future collaboration.

    “Plymoth has extensive experience in the same industry as Fumex, and our businesses complement each other in several ways. We see opportunities to benefit from each other’s products, expertise, and international distribution networks over time. At the same time, it is important for us to build on Plymoth’s existing business and relationships,” says Maria Lidström, CEO of Fumex AB.

    The acquisition coincides with the retirement of Plymoth’s founder, Jan Plymoth, after 40 years with the company.

    “I’m proud of what we have built together with our employees, customers, and partners, and I’m pleased to hand over the company to a long-term owner like Fumex,” says Jan Plymoth.

    Plymoth will continue its operations from its headquarters in Traryd, Sweden, under its existing management team and the Plymoth brand.
