Dr. Günter Müller, Head of Sales Department Filtration Products, Sandler AG
“This year’s FILTECH was a great success for Sandler. Our new booth design was very well received. Focusing on topics like fully synthetic H13 media or our recycling approach for meltblown, we hit the mark. FILTECH brings together exactly the audience Sandler as a manufacturer of nonwovens is looking to address.”
Peter Wink, Group Vice President Filtration for Industry and Environment, Hengst SE
“It was three inspiring and exciting days at the trade show in Cologne with very interesting conversations around the topic of filtration. Filtech is an important industry meeting and a must for every filtration specialist. The combination of conference and trade fair is an ideal way to gather experts, customers, suppliers, and the trade press in one place to exchange ideas about the future of filtration. This year, we focused on sustainability and energy efficiency, and extensively discussed how filtration solutions can contribute to these goals. We were able to engage in many substantial conversations with high-caliber contacts. After all, when it comes to sustainability, Hengst is increasingly relying on renewable raw materials for its products, and we also achieve outstanding energy efficiency thanks to low differential pressure and intelligent filter design. 2024 will see Hengst return to the filtration industry’s most important meeting. We are already looking forward to it!”

Many thanks to FILTECH Exhibition 2023 for providing this unique platform and the opportunity to provide our SCHERDEL MicroSolex Filters to such a broad audience of filtration experts. We had a great time in Cologne and are already looking forward to participate at next years FILTECH Exhibition!

FILTECHは、フィルタービジネスに携わる者であれば、必ず参加すべき展示会です。
FILTECHは決して大規模な展示会ではありませんが、Filter関連製品を取扱う我々にとっては最も重要な展示会の一つです。1年半ごとに業界の仲間や常連客との再会、そして新しいお客さんとの出会い、とてもエキサイトする3日間です。
今回も多くのお客さんに来場いただき、有意義な商談を行う事が出来ましたし、多くの課題もいただきました。FILTECHで得たお客様よりの要望を研究し新商品を開発する。そしてその新商品を次のFILTECHで発表する。これが我々のルーティーンでありライフワークになっています。
GESSNER
