Their core product offerings include the ADPF DPFs designed for diesel genset applications, RH-DPFs with a smaller footprint, ULETRU DPFs for transport refrigeration units (TRUs), and custom DPFs tailored for various OEM applications. These filters are particularly advantageous as they automatically self-clean without operator intervention, allowing for design flexibility and remote installation from the engine. The company serves a diverse clientele across multiple industries including transport refrigeration, power generation, marine power generation, port equipment, and custom solutions for OEMs. Their products are sold in various geographical markets, emphasizing compliance with increasingly stringent air quality regulations in regions such as North America and Europe.Rypos generates revenue through direct sales of its DPFs to businesses managing diesel-powered equipment across several sectors, including data centers, hospitals, and port operations. Their sales transactions typically operate on a business-to-business (B2B) model, providing tailored solutions that meet regulatory compliance needs. The company's flagship products, such as the active DPFs, are structured to cater to specific client requirements, allowing for direct negotiations on pricing and installation services. Revenue is primarily derived from these product sales, with potential for recurring income through maintenance services and support offered to clients. This service-oriented approach ensures that customers have ongoing assistance in meeting their environmental and regulatory objectives.Following a funding round in July 2013, where Rypos raised USD 0.360 mn, the company is focused on expanding its product line and entering new markets. Plans include launching new DPF models tailored for niche applications in 2024 and exploring expansion into European markets, targeting completion by 2025.
