We Protect People, Planet and Processes
Our materials provide maximum protection for equipment, operations and workforces, as well as the wider environment, making our trusted portfolio the first-choice for thousands of customers worldwide. Whether you're seeking protection against pollution, environmental hazards, noise, heat or impacts, let us help you to create the perfect solution.
Emissions control
Our materials for industrial filtration are specified globally for the management of airborne particulates. Our materials clean the air to near-zero emissions, and recover and recycle separated products with the greatest efficiency. Even in the harshest of operating environments, our materials can meet strict environmental compliance, optimize plant uptime and lower the total cost of ownership.
Cleaner liquids
Liquid filtration is a critical process in many sectors, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, power and automotive, where product purity, equipment protection, and regulatory compliance are required. We provide filtration materials for mechanical, depth, surface, membrane, and specialty filtration to manage specific particle sizes and process requirements.
PROTECTIVE WORKWEAR
Protecting the health and safety of civil and military workforces is a serious business. Our high-performance technical textiles offer the highest level of defense, safeguarding against heat, noise, chemicals, acids, gases, friction, impact, sharp objects and blunt force while delivering maximum wearing comfort and breathability. Our materials are used in protective uniforms, body armour, helmets, PPE, defense textiles and protective apparel, worldwide.
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.
STRUCTURAL PROTECTION & WEAR RESISTANCE
Our technical textiles and advanced composites are used across high-stress industries to absorb intense impact energy, shield inner components from friction-induced degradation and withstand severe abrasion. They significantly extend equipment lifespan, minimize downtime and ensure critical operational safety. Used in interior air and vehicle cabins, and appliances.

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 uses 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
Widely specified inside buildings 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.
AEROSPACE & AUTOMOTIVE
Our protective materials are specified in vehicle and aircraft cabin interiors, filtration systems, battery housings and for the protection of other critical components, including hydraulic transmission units.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE PROTECTION
Our technical textiles and advanced composites are used in protective clothing and other apparel for civil and military protective workwear. 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. We customise industrial dryer seals for commercial laundry equipment and felt gliders for chair protection, plus many other products. Whatever your specification, we offer an end-to-end, single-supplier solution with fabric, foil wrapping and lamination.
performance efficiency
We Add Real Value to Your Operations
