The largest manufacturer of high quality commercial upright vacuum cleaners in the world is SEBO. Founded in 1978 by a team of German engineers, SEBO offers a range of upright and cylinder vacuum cleaners for domestic and commercial use. SEBO vacuum cleaners are known for being tough, reliable and engineered to give an excellent cleaning performance.

SEBO vacuum cleaners are manufactured in Germany. The town of Velbert is where the company is based. SEBO actually stands for Semigerwerbliche Bodenpflege which translates to "semi-commercial floor care." SEBO prides itself on providing its customers certain key benefits. They are ease of use, reliability, consistent cleaning effectiveness and high filtration.

The British Allergy Foundation bestowed its seal of approval on SEBO vacuums. They found that SEBO vacuum cleaners produce zero levels of detectable airborne dust mite allergen. This is one of the reasons SEBO is the choice of cleaning professionals and households all over the world.

For allergy and asthma sufferers, keeping a home free of dust and dirt is crucial to their health. SEBO vacuum cleaners have high filtration and remove dirt, dust and other allergy-causing particles without re-circulating into the environment. The filtration technology used in SEBO vacuum cleaners is called S Class filtration.One of the vacuums that utilizes this filtration is the SEBO 9587AM X5 Upright. S Class filtration filters 99% of particles down to 0.3 microns. For particles 1 micron and larger, the filtration rate is 100%. SEBO's stringent standard for filtration not only prevents respiratory problems, but means a lot less dusting.

SEBO feels it has a responsibility to manufacture vacuum cleaners that are not only of the highest quality and performance, but also leave a smaller carbon footprint on the environment. SEBO has a more complex definition of what it means to responsibly manufacture a vacuum cleaner. They feel that it is necessary to consider the environmental impact of products right from the beginning. This means conserve the amount of energy consumed in production and distribution.

They way they conserve this energy is by using locally sourced materials and components. This means that the materials used to make SEBO vacuums do not have to be flown in which wastes gas. They also recycle plastic into new components.

The SEBO factory is entirely self-sustaining with regards to electricity. When the supply exceeds the demand, SEBO makes contributions to the national grid. 100% of the primary energy source is recovered with the combined heat and power system. This provides the electricity to run machinery. The warm air created by the generator heats the warehouse. Engine coolant is pumped through office radiators. The water used in production within the factory washrooms are rainwater that is collected from the roof.

The SEBO factory also uses natural light as much as possible. Working hours are even scheduled to make the best use of daylight hours. As far as shipping, much care is taken to ensure that the least amount of materials necessary is used. The products are packed into the smallest possible cartons. The carton sizes are chosen so that the maximum number of machines fit onto the pallet. The packaging is made from unbleached recycled cardboard and scrap paper from the office is used for packing as well.

SEBO tests every single vacuum to make sure that every valued customer gets the best quality machine. They start at the root of everything to make sure the end result is up to their standard of excellence. And most importantly, your standards.
