How an idea became a global brand…
…an invention that was born out of necessity: Doro Erjavec's (co-founder of HYLA) wife suffered from a house dust allergy that worsened with every dry floor cleaning. After intensive technical trials and many tests, the appliance went into series production in 1992 and was an instant success.
Engineers Doro Erjavec and Janez Pogacar gave the HYLA air and room cleaning system its name. They developed the first prototype in 1990.
Today, HYLA International is already successful in over 60 countries around the world with its unique products.

Company founded by the two Slovenian engineers Janez Pogacar and Doro Erjavec in Ljubljana/Slovenia. During the first two years of the company's existence, the development of the device is driven forward and intensive test series are carried out.
After this preparatory period, production starts and sales begin at the same time. The company immediately establishes itself successfully on the Slovenian market.

HYLA NST 2001 - 2010
2001
After a long development period and extensive long-term testing, the HYLA NST is presented in January 2001. In addition to its modern design, this new generation of HYLA is particularly impressive with its technical innovations compared to its predecessor.
The sensational new feature of this appliance is the new, self-cleaning, patented separator technology, which achieves a higher air flow as well as improved filtration properties and higher suction efficiency. The introduction of the new HYLA NST also goes hand in hand with the introduction of the flexible electric hose with internal electric cable.

HYLA GST 2012 - 2017
2010
With our globally unique patented separator technology, we are writing a whole new chapter in the history of "air and room cleaning".
The HYLA GST filter system is based on the fascinating natural phenomenon - GEYSIR. Air and dust are sucked in and create an upward flow in the water, the HYLA geyser. The mixture of water droplets and dust particles created by the geyser effect can be optimally filtered by the separator.
