[Pangyo Interview] OION Leads the Market with Plasma Air Sterilization and Deodorization Modules Equipped with Automatic Cleaning Function
OION (pronounced O-Ai-On), led by CEO Kim Young-il, is a startup that develops and supplies air sterilization and deodorization modules that eliminate bacteria, viruses, and harmful substances from the air.
Just three years after its establishment, OION has developed a lineup of five modules and is growing by supplying them to B2B manufacturers. Notably, the company was recently selected by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups for the TIPS R&D project, through which it is developing an advanced composite sterilization and deodorization module.
With the pandemic underscoring the necessity of sterilization as an essential part of daily life, the importance of air sterilization has become even more prominent. However, existing technologies like UV and photocatalysis could be better. UV is useful for surface sterilization but is limited for air sterilization, and photocatalysis loses its sterilizing power in spaces with fast-moving air. To overcome these limitations, OION is developing products based on plasma technology.
