Filtrex India covers the entire filtration supply chain

The two-day conference organised by European Disposables and Nonwovens Association (EDANA), the international association representing nonwovens and related materials, and Business Co-ordination House India (BCH), covered virtually all aspects of the filtration industry and its growing importance to the subcontinent.

Over 180 participants spanning the whole supply chain attended the event, which witnessed a gathering of like-minded people who have the power to influence the industry. This might well result into a number of new partnerships and alliances in future, the organisation said.

The event's success clearly indicates that the filtration industry of India stands at the threshold of a new age wherein adapting newer technologies, planning strategically and taking decisive steps for long term growth are critical for companies involved.

“What is most important is the fact that the cross-fertilisation and exchanges of ideas taking place here will accelerate the movement towards the implementation of product solutions from global markets to India and vice-versa. The challenges that filtration professionals have to meet are indeed usually both specific and universal,” said Pierre Wiertz, general manager, EDANA.

“India today is witnessing a series of revisions and reforms in its legislation pertaining to manufacturing and emissions. Interestingly, there is from the other side a great consumer awareness too that is pushing forward the filtration industry in the country. As an example the need for an ambient indoor air quality can be witnessed through the increasing sales of air purifiers, HVAC systems, cabin air filters in automobiles and other such equipment,” said Samir Gupta, managing director, BCH.

Another important feature of all Filtrex events is the tabletop exhibition. With 17 exhibitors, this made the 2016 Filtrex India not only the highest level conference this year in India for nonwoven filter media, but also a unique promotional opportunity for all companies with particular interest in the filtration market.
