The recognition follows five years of the company placing within the top 10

Ryco’s innovation has been recognised once again in the Australian Financial Review’s (AFR) BOSS Magazine ‘Most Innovative Companies’ awards for the Manufacturing and Consumer Goods sector.
After five years of placing in the top 10, Ryco has now come first in 2024 for its N99 MicroShield Cabin Air Filters range for commercial vehicles.
Ryco explains the range of cabin filters was designed with drivers in mind with it reportedly being the only filter that does not directly affect the engine of a vehicle, serving as an important addition in trucks that are at times fitted with a basic leaf tray.
In commenting on the BOSS Magazine award, RYCO General Manager of Engineering, Innovation and Quality, Alastair Hampton, said the company was determined to develop something that served their customers in a way that hadn’t been considered previously.
“For a lot of truck drivers, their cabin serves as their office, their bedroom, and their main living space while on the road,” Alastair said.
“With that in mind, it is critical that they have the cleanest environment possible while on the road, and the best way to achieve that is with efficient filtration in the HVAC system.”
Developed to remove down to 0.3 micron at 99.7 percent efficiency, its construction is comprised of three layers: the first is a pre-filter with anti-viral agent eliminating airborne H1N1/H3N2 virus from the air flow; the second is an activated carbon layer that acts as an odour barrier; and the third is an electrostatically charged layer for optimum particle filtration.
The 360° air-tight seal also prevents air bypassing the filter, which Ryco explains is a common issue found in some OE cabin filters.
“People are most often certain that the only percentage of polluted air they’re comfortable inhaling is 0 percent,” Alastair said.
“We are proud to have designed something that gets as close to that as possible, unseen elsewhere in the market.”
Ryco’s N99 MicroShield Cabin Filter range is now available for over 500,000 trucks on Australian and New Zealand roads.
