We Protect People, Planet and Processes
We provide maximum protection for your equipment, operations and workforce, as well as the wider environment, making our trusted portfolio of materials, filter bags and candles the first-choice of thousands of customers worldwide. Whether you're seeking advanced filter media for optimum environmental compliance or technical textiles to improve the safety, comfort or quality of your product or components, let us help you to create the perfect solution.
Emissions control
Our advanced fiber-based materials are specified globally as the optimum material for emissions control and management of airborne particulates, particularly where operations pose extreme temperatures or demanding process conditions. Our materials clean the air to near-zero emissions, and recover and recycle separated products with the greatest efficiency, meeting strict environmental compliance, optimizing operational uptime and lowering total cost of ownership.
Cleaner liquids
Liquid filtration is a critical process in many sectors, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, power generation and automotive, where it ensures product purity, equipment protection, and regulatory compliance. We provide filtration materials for mechanical, depth, surface, membrane, and specialty filtration to manage specific particle sizes and process requirements.
THERMAL & SAFETY PROTECTION
Protecting people effectively in dangerous situations is a serious business. Our high-performance technical textiles deliver the highest level of protection against heat, fire, chemicals and sharp objects, while delivering maximum wearing comfort. That’s why they have been the number one choice for manufacturers of protective clothing and apparel worldwide for many years.
Noise Protection
Made from recyclable fibers, our audiovel® technical needlefelt is very effective in protecting against noise. Acting as an acoustic barrier, our materials meet the highest performance, environmental and safety standards including flame resistance and flexibility. Used widely across automotive, aerospace, construction and industrial equipment manufacturing.
RESISTANCE & STYLE
Our technical textiles are the first-choice material for many quality products where protection and enhanced comfort and style are prerequisite.
Serving Industrial, Critical, Commercial Industries & Niche Markets
CEMENT, AGGREGATES, LIME & GYPSUM
Our advanced portfolio of filter media, bags and candles provide optimum performance in demanding industrial processes where customers seek high efficiency and durability. Widely used in kilns, mills, clinker coolers, and other applications with high temperatures, aggressive gases and other contaminants.
WASTE-TO-ENERGY, RDF, INCINERATION & COAL-FIRED POWER
Our highly efficient filter materials, bags and candles are central to optimised flue gas cleaning systems. They are widely used to chemically neutralise harmful gases, reduce pollutants and heavy metals, and remove particulates in the gas, with an efficiency of greater than 99.99%.
METALLURGY
The steel and non-ferrous metal industry use bag filters in primary steel production at the dedusting of sintering belts, blast furnaces, electric arc furnaces as well as basic oxygen converters. With secondary steel production the bag filters are used in the dedusting of electric arc furnaces, cupola and rotary furnaces and other supporting processes.
CHEMICAL, FOOD & PHARMA
We help customers to meet the highest standards during the production, manufacturing and handling of food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals where grinding, granulation and packaging processes place special demands on filter media.
BUILDING, CONSTRUCTION & APPLIANCES
Widely specified inside buildings and appliances for sound insulation and fire-blocking in floors, walls, roofing and equipment. Our breathable and waterproof nonwovens protect against noise, heat and humidity while simultaneously allowing air exchange. From roofing membranes to acoustic panels and covers for ceilings, to industrial dryer seals for commercial laundry equipment.
AEROSPACE & AUTOMOTIVE
Our materials are specified in vehicle and aircraft cabin interiors, and critical components within filtration systems and battery housings worldwide. From hydraulic transmission units to AGM vehicle batteries, seat and mirror flocking, our materials clean, power and protect.
PUBLIC & PERSONAL PROTECTION
Our technical nonwovens are used for fire-blocking and anti-vandalism in protective clothing and other apparel. They offer maximum durability and protection from heat, sparks, chemicals and sharp objects and are trusted by emergency services and other operatives working in dangerous or demanding environments.
NICHE MARKETS
All our materials can be customized into finished products or components; cut, shaped, and finished to meet each customer’s unique design specification. From TBC and covers for chair legs, we offer an end-to-end, single-supplier solution with fabric and foil wrapping and lamination.
performance efficiency
