An idea born from a friendship
Meeting
When we met in Seoul, we had no idea that we would be here today.
Directly concerned by the problem of air pollution, we were looking for a truly effective solution to protect ourselves.
Launching the project
In parallel to our respective jobs, we were researching and meeting professionals around the issue of air pollution.
The need of users we met became obvious : they expected a product that met their expectations, the name R-PUR became obvious to us.
A great inspiration
At the beginning of 2016, we took a deep breath as well as a leap of faith and became 100% committed to the R-PUR project.
Surrounded by the right people (doctors, researchers, chemists) our first prototypes were born.
R&D investment 💡
We invest heavily in order to offer a product that meets three main criteria : efficiency, comfort and design.
We are now ready to offer our solution to everyone : The R-PUR Nano® mask is born.
Participatory Financing 👨🏾🤝👨🏼
The year 2017 was the year of our crowdfunding campaigns.
We didn't expect such a keen interest: with more than 200 different references on offer, we exceeded our objective by more than 300 000€.
Furthermore, the production starts in France: we have all the necessary expertise to develop quality products.
The mobile application 📱
From the very beginning of our development, we have been committed to providing a daily companion for the R-PUR Nano® mask.
Thanks to the dedicated R-PUR mobile application, our users can replace their filters at the right time.
First delighted customers 🌟
Our users are starting to receive their mask and the first feedback is unanimous: the mask does them good every day.
They also propose improvements, and since that day, we have been committed to making our products evolve along with our community.
The R-PUR site is online
In September 2018, after several months of work, the R-PUR.com site is online: we are proud of the work we have accomplished.
To end the year on a high note and thank our customers, we launched our very first Christmas Pack which was very well received.
Our range is growing 🚲
We listen closely to our community, that’s why we cared to offer a dedicated model for bicycle riders.
R-PUR Nano Light® becomes an essential product right out of the box: more lighter and more breathable, it is also reflective at night for the safety of cyclists.
R-PUR raises € 2.5M 🚀
Citizen Capital, an impacting European fund that assists companies with the ambition to transform society, joins R-PUR's capital along with successful entrepreneurs: Marc Simoncini & Éric Larchevêque.
We will be able to increase our production: the demand for our masks is much higher than our production capacity.
On the front line ⛑
The pandemic that the world has been going through has been a difficult time for everyone.
In March, we decided to close our sales to the public and help front-line medical staff at our scale.
At the same time, with the help of the Ile-de-France region, we opened a new production line in the area to produce surgical masks.
Stabilized production
Time was against us, but at the end of this year 2020, our production was multiplied by 5.
Anyone who wants to protect themselves can now be equipped: more than 60,000 city dwellers wear their R-PUR masks every day.
Towards new models
R-PUR’s mission is to protect all people from the existing risks in the air: air pollution, pollen, bacteria, viruses...
In early 2021, we will present a dedicated model for pedestrians and children.
We look forward to introducing them to you 💌
