St. Louis, MO -- March 23, 2026 -- CleanLeaf Air Filtration Systems, long trusted by growers and cultivators for tackling the unique air quality demands of agricultural and horticultural environments, today announced its official merger with Blue Ox Air Cleaners — a move that dramatically expands the company’s reach into commercial, industrial, and residential applications.

This merger brings together two brands that have, independently, built their reputations on the same core conviction: a passion for innovation, a deep understanding of the environments their customers work in, and an unwavering commitment to filtration solutions that protect crops, workers, and people alike. Together, they form one unified team with the product depth and mission-driven purpose to serve customers across virtually every environment — from boutique grow rooms and cigar lounges to large-scale manufacturing facilities and industrial operations.

What This Merger Means for Customers

The combined entity delivers a broader, more advanced range of air filtration systems backed by decades of real-world experience across diverse environments. Customers will benefit from:

Broader Product Selection: Access to a wider range of air filtration systems designed for more applications, contaminants, and space sizes.
More Targeted Contaminant Control: Enhanced solutions for dust, smoke, odors, chalk particulate, mold, mildew, and fine airborne particles.
Expanded Performance Capabilities: Greater flexibility in airflow capacity (CFM), filtration levels (MERV/HEPA options), and configurable system designs.
Simplified Purchasing Experience: One unified brand, one streamlined product portfolio, and clearer guidance on selecting the right solution.
Proven Reliability Backed by Experience: Two established brands combining reputations for durability and real-world performance.
A Single Trusted Partner for Air Quality: One team focused on helping customers identify, control, and remove the airborne contaminants impacting their spaces.

“At CleanLeaf, we’ve always believed that clean air is more than just a necessity — it’s the foundation of everything that grows, works, and thrives in a space. Blue Ox shares that belief completely. By bringing our two teams together, we’re not just expanding a product line — we’re deepening our ability to solve real problems for real people. Whether you’re protecting a crop, a workforce, or a customer, you deserve a solution built by someone who understands your environment. That’s exactly what this merger makes possible.”
— Charlie Rieder, Head of Sales & Service

Combined Capabilities Across Diverse Applications

The newly unified company supports a broad spectrum of environments and industries. CleanLeaf’s specialized air filtration systems are purpose-built for grow facilities, greenhouses, and controlled environment agriculture, drawing on a rigorous understanding of airflow dynamics, filtration science, and the specific contaminant challenges facing modern cultivators.

Blue Ox brings complementary strength in commercial and industrial applications, with a product line trusted by woodworking shops, welding operations, cigar lounges, automotive plants, and large manufacturing facilities.

“Blue Ox was built from a simple but powerful idea: clean air should be achievable anywhere, no matter how demanding the environment. That mission has driven every product we’ve designed, every customer we’ve served, and every problem we’ve solved over four decades in this industry. Joining CleanLeaf means we get to take that mission further than we ever could alone — into grow rooms, greenhouses, and agricultural operations where clean air isn’t just about comfort, it’s about what survives and what thrives. We’re proud of what we’ve built. We’re even more excited about what comes next.”
— Matthew Kretsinger, Chief Operating Officer

A Reimagined Digital Experience, Built for What’s Next

What started as a focused solution for cannabis cultivators — tackling odor, mold, mildew, and air quality in grow rooms — has grown into something much bigger. The newly redesigned CleanLeaf website reflects that evolution, serving as a unified digital home for the combined CleanLeaf and Blue Ox product portfolio and the full scope of what the merged company now delivers.

The redesign was a significant undertaking — built from the ground up to match the ambition of the merger itself. The new platform brings together an expanded product catalog, improved application-based navigation, and a cleaner, more intuitive browsing experience that makes it easier than ever to find the right system for any space. Key features of the redesigned site include:

Expanded Product Catalog: The full CleanLeaf and Blue Ox product lines are now available in one place, organized by application, contaminant type, and environment — from agriculture and commercial retail to manufacturing, residential, and beyond.
Application-Based Navigation: Customers can now browse by their specific environment or contaminant challenge, with dedicated pathways for agriculture, commercial retail, manufacturing and production, and residential spaces.
Airflow Filter Tool: An interactive product filter allows customers to sort by contaminant type — dust and particulate, smoke, bacteria, mold and mildew, light odor, heavy odor, and portable options — delivering targeted results faster.
Engineering-First Content: New educational content throughout the site reinforces CleanLeaf’s core philosophy: airflow isn’t guesswork — it’s engineering. Visitors can explore how velocity, air changes, and filtration efficiency work together to solve real contamination problems.
Streamlined Quote and Contact Experience: An improved Request a Quote form and direct access to product experts makes it faster and easier for customers to get personalized guidance, pricing, and system recommendations.

Whether you’re running a greenhouse, warehouse, retail space, workshop, or lab, the new CleanLeaf.com is designed to help you take control of the air in your environment, backed by the expertise of two industry-leading brands now working as one.
