Company History

At Vitesy, we’re creators of sustainable solutions for well-being since 2016. We’re an Italian company committed to improving people's lives and well-being through sustainable and smart solutions. Through the development of innovative and smart technologies, we promote a healthy environment and a sustainable lifestyle. We're a company of creatives, engineers, and designers with ambitious goals: fight food waste, remove indoor air pollution, and improve your well-being.

Vitesy systems are designed and created to be state-of-the-art in every aspect, including the completely made-in-Italy design, and follow the principles of circular economy. Through the use of its patent-pending photocatalytic technology activated by visible light, Vitesy ensures greater safety and effectiveness while maintaining minimal energy consumption. In addition to being innovative, the products are also sustainable: since they do not require filters to be replaced, they reduce waste and also bring great economic savings over time.

Vitesy's story begins with an idea presented at CES 2016, where the first natural air purifier ever created was launched and gathered great interest for its innovative combination of nature (the plant) and technology (the Indoor Air Quality sensors & forced air circulation system). Subsequently, Plug & Play Ventures selected it for an incubation program in Silicon Valley and helped the founders organize their first Crowdfunding campaign, which was a success, with over 26000 USD raised, allowing mass production of the product.

In 2018 Vitesy launched its second product on Kickstarter with immediate success: at the time, Natede became the most backed anti-pollution product ever, with over 1 million USD raised. Thanks to these funds and to a huge support from the European Union in the form of a 2 million € grant (coming from the highly competitive “Horizon 2020” programme for advanced research and product design), Natede was put in production and launched on the market in 2020.

In 2021 Vitesy has undergone an evolution both from an administrative and technological point of view, becoming an SME and starting to develop multiple distribution channels to make its products more easily and widely available. In 2022, the company launched its two new products Natede Smart (an evolution of Natede) and Eteria, two sustainable and connected air purifiers that are able to monitor and purify your indoor air without having to change the filter, thanks to the technology of photocatalysis.

Unique and award-winning design, Natede Smart and Eteria have many features that make them two highly revolutionary solutions: elegant body, recycled materials, compatibility with IoT software and proximity sensors are just some of the features that make Natede Smart and Eteria two of the most recognizable products on the market.

In 2022, Vitesy launches its most revolutionary product yet: Shelfy, the device that fights food waste by extending the shelf life of food inside the refrigerator. Using photocatalysis, Shelfy eliminates bacteria and removes odors effectively and sustainably. After an extremely successful pre-order campaign, which raised over 1,1 mln USD in very challenging market conditions, Shelfy has been developed and effectively distributed in the market in a much shorter time than the previous products, thanks to the company’s greater expertise and growing commercial development.

As of today, Shelfy has become Vitesy’s best selling product and is helping the company increase its capabilities and expertise, and helping thousands of customers waste less food every day. Vitesy stays committed to a path of continuous improvement and constant product innovation, so expect to see many new surprises down the line.

Looking outside of Vitesy-branded products for Consumer customers, the company has been also successful in integrating its photocatalytic technology into other brands’ appliances and products, further cementing its reputation as innovators and proving the effectiveness of its technology.
