November 04, 2020 - United States Of America
Hollingsworth & Vose is increasing capacity for its Technostat electret filtration media products. The expansion will happen at its Hatzfeld Germany location. Technostat is the highest performing electret filter media for cabin air, HVAC, air purifier, and other Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) applications requiring high filtration efficiency and low pressure drop.
The new expanded set-up will begin operation in the second half of 2021.
H&V's proprietary Technostat products play a direct role in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic in ventilator, respirator, and other critical medical applications. With the latest Hatzfeld investment, H&V is further improving its global Technostat manufacturing footprint, which already includes Kentmere, England and Floyd, Virginia US.
"This expansion will allow H&V to further support the growth of our key customers and strategic growth markets, globally. We are especially proud of the impact Technostat has made in the fight against COVID-19," said Patrick Demchko, global director of Product Line Management at H&V.
"People are really starting to pay attention to indoor air quality, and how that air quality impacts their health. Whether in your home, your car, or within any commercial building, including schools and hospitals, Technostat offers a unique solution to the market in that it has the highest efficiency at the lowest air flow resistance available," added Demchko.
