    SEIBU GIKEN DST AB: A Global Leader in Desiccant Technology

    SEIBU GIKEN DST AB is recognised worldwide for its advanced industrial dehumidifiers. Founded in Sweden in 1985, the company quickly established itself as a leading supplier of humidity control systems for industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, electronics, packaging, and precision manufacturing. DST equipment is now present in more than 50 countries, with over 100,000 units installed across the globe.

    DST’s success is rooted in the work of its parent company, Seibu Giken Co., Ltd. In 1984, Seibu Giken developed and commercialised the world’s first activated silica-gel honeycomb rotor. This breakthrough revolutionised desiccant drying, introducing a stable, energy-efficient system that delivered highly accurate humidity control. The same rotor principle remains central to DST’s product range today, supported by continuous research and development that keeps the technology at the forefront of the industry.

    As part of the wider Seibu Giken DST worldwide group of companies, DST continues to focus on engineering excellence, product reliability, and long-term environmental performance.
