Eagle Filters Group Oyj (formerly Loudspring Oyj, earlier Cleantech Invest Oyj) is a Finnish industrial company that manufactures gas turbine air intake filters for the energy and process industries,[1] energy-saving and filtration efficiency-enhancing fibre solutions for industrial and building applications,[2] and FFP2/FFP3 respirators[3] for healthcare professionals and industry.

The company was formerly an investment and development company, investing in clean technology and natural resources efficiency companies. In 2021, the company made a strategic decision to focus and transform Loudspring from an investment company to an industrial company built around Eagle Filters. In September 2021, the company acquired the remaining 15% of Eagle Filters Oy from its founder Juha Kariluoto.[4] The decision meant that gradually all available resources of the company will be used to support the growth of Eagle Filters and the other holdings will be sold within a reasonable period of time. The company changed its name from Loudspring Plc to Eagle Filters Group Plc at the 27 October 2022 general meeting and began listing under the new name and trading symbol 14 November 2022 Nasdaq Nordic First North Finland and Nasdaq Nordic First North Sweden.[5] On 29 March 2023, the company applied for and received approval to delist its shares from Nasdaq First North Sweden with effect from 12 May 2023 due to the low trading volumes on that list.[6]

The company had two classes of shares, Series K shares and Series A shares. At the Extraordinary General Meeting on 18 January 2023, the unlisted K shares (with 20 votes) were converted into listed A shares with one vote. As a result, all shares in the company are now listed A shares.[7] The number of shares in the company is 170 869 281.[8]
