Our origin

Built in a Korean lab.
Proven on site.

AirMAC comes from Shema Co., Ltd., a bio-health research company that spun out of KAIST's CISS research group in 2017. Shema develops everything from the filter media to the finished device in Daedeok Science Valley, Daejeon.

Vision
Airlyfe exists to protect people's lives and their breathing, wherever the air is worst.

에어라이프는 공기가 가장 나쁜 곳에서 사람들의 생명과 호흡을 지킵니다.

Track 01 · Growth

Protection people are paid to wear

Sales to construction companies, hospitals, defence and industrial sites, where protection is a requirement and comfort decides whether it is worn.

Track 02 · Impact

Protection for people who cannot buy it

At-cost masks for the most exposed people in high-AQI regions, starting in Pakistan. No profit, and every unit teaches us how the mask is worn in real life.

The plan

Each market opens through its regulator first, so every sale stands on certified data

규제기관 승인을 먼저, 그다음 판매.

Phase 01 · Pakistan

Smog-season pilot in Lahore

The world's most polluted country, and a team with roots there.

  • 500 to 1,000 masks to Lahore at cost
  • Wear-time and comfort feedback from real users
  • Government, civil service and hospital partnerships
Phase 02 · United States

Construction and public buyers

Rules on silica and wildfire smoke make employers buy protection.

  • Massachusetts pilots with construction firms
  • Boston institutions and state agencies
  • NIOSH approval pathway
Phase 03 · Scale

Defence and new markets

Variants for the people who need them most.

  • Military variant for the US Department of Defense
  • Clinical variant for hospitals
  • Further high-AQI cities in Asia and the Gulf
