In partnership with Capital Mill, we have begun developing a new manufacturing and office facility of nearly 10,000 m² in Rae Parish, Estonia. The new factory will enable us to significantly increase our production capacity, introduce new technologies, and create up to 150 additional jobs in the future. The facility is scheduled for completion by the end of 2027.
According to Sander Veanes, founder and CEO of Filter Plus, it became clear two years ago that the company's existing premises could no longer support its planned growth.
"We simply don't have enough space to install new production equipment or increase our production volumes. That's why we decided to develop a new factory designed specifically around our needs, with room for further growth in the future," Veanes explained.
The New Factory Will Enable Us to Multiply Our Production Capacity
The new manufacturing, warehouse and office facility of nearly 10,000 m², located near the Tallinn Ring Road in Rae Parish, Estonia, is being designed specifically to meet the needs of air filter production. Particular attention is being paid to production efficiency, automation, and the smooth flow of materials and finished products throughout the facility.
The new factory will allow us to introduce additional production equipment and new technologies, expand our product range, and multiply our production capacity. It will also support further export growth and enable us to serve our international customers faster and more efficiently.
“Our goal is to develop one of the most modern air filter manufacturing facilities in Scandinavia. We are not simply building a larger factory – we are creating an entirely new level of manufacturing environment, where advanced technology, automation, and carefully designed production processes will help us become even more competitive in the international market,” said Veanes.
Growing Exports Drive the Need for Increased Production Capacity
In 2025, our revenue reached €7.58 million, representing an increase of approximately 24% compared to the previous year. By comparison, our revenue in 2023 was €5.18 million.
Exports accounted for approximately 71% of our total revenue in 2025, amounting to €5.4 million. The new factory will help us strengthen our position in existing export markets and expand our international presence.
“Our goal is to double the company’s revenue over the next five years. We see the greatest growth potential in Finland, Sweden, and Norway, where we aim to significantly strengthen our market position. The new factory will provide us with the production capacity needed to achieve this,” said Sander Veanes, CEO of Filter Plus.
The New Factory Will Create Opportunities for Up to 150 Additional Jobs
Filter Plus currently employs approximately 100 people in Estonia. The new manufacturing facility is being designed to accommodate up to 250 employees in the future as the company continues to grow.
The factory is also being planned with our long-term growth ambitions in mind. In addition to the initial nearly 10,000 m², the plans include the possibility of expanding the production area by a further 5,000 m² in the future.
“Considering our growth rate so far, it would not have made sense to design a factory based solely on our current needs. We want to create a manufacturing environment that will support our development over the next decade, allowing us to increase production volumes, expand exports, and grow our team,” Veanes added.
The New Factory Is Being Developed in Partnership with Capital Mill
The new manufacturing and office facility is being developed in partnership with Capital Mill, taking into account Filter Plus's specific production requirements and long-term growth plans.
“For us, it is important to have a partner who understands the specific needs of our manufacturing operations and our future ambitions. In Capital Mill, we have found a partner who can help us turn these plans into reality,” said Sander Veanes, CEO of Filter Plus.
According to Tanel Samuel, Partner at Capital Mill, the new Filter Plus factory is a great example of how purpose-built real estate development can support the growth and export potential of Estonia's manufacturing industry.
“Our goal is to develop buildings that support our clients' businesses both today and for years to come. In the case of the new Filter Plus factory, the key priorities are well-planned production and logistics solutions, along with the flexibility to expand manufacturing operations in the future. We are pleased to partner with an Estonian company whose ambitious growth plans provide an opportunity to create a modern manufacturing facility tailored specifically to its needs,” said Samuel.
Construction of the new factory began on October 29, 2026, and the facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
The new factory marks an important milestone in the next stage of Filter Plus's development, bringing us closer to our ambition of becoming one of Scandinavia's leading and most advanced air filter manufacturers.
