FILTECH 2022
Reconnecting the Global Filtration Industry
In March 2022, the global filtration community gathered once again in Cologne, Germany, for FILTECH 2022, one of the industry’s most important exhibitions and conferences. Bringing together more than 440 exhibitors and hundreds of technical presentations, the event served as a key platform for showcasing the latest developments in filtration and separation technologies.

Industry Highlights
The exhibition highlighted several key trends that continue to shape the filtration industry today:
- Growing demand for energy-efficient filtration systems
- Increased focus on air quality and environmental protection
- Advances in filter media technologies
- Expansion of industrial filtration applications
- Greater emphasis on process optimization and separation efficiency
The conference program covered a wide range of topics, including solid-liquid separation, solid-gas separation, membrane processes, testing technologies, and advanced filter media development.

A.L. Group at FILTECH 2022
For A.L. Group, FILTECH 2022 provided an excellent opportunity to reconnect with customers, suppliers, and industry partners following a period of limited international travel.
Our team presented showcased two of its most innovative development platforms: IN-EX and ZENCE.
IN-EX demonstrated a new approach to filter media enhancement, enabling additional functionality while maintaining airflow and permeability. The technology attracted interest from filtration professionals seeking new ways to improve media performance without compromising efficiency.
At the same time, ZENCE introduced visitors to a new perspective on air treatment and user experience. By combining filtration with controlled fragrance diffusion, ZENCE demonstrated how air management solutions can contribute not only to cleaner air, but also to a more pleasant environment.
Together, these technologies reflected A.L. Group’s vision of expanding beyond conventional filtration and creating solutions that combine performance, functionality, and user experience.

Looking Forward
One of the most important takeaways from FILTECH 2022 was the industry’s accelerating transition toward advanced filtration materials and sustainable process solutions. These trends continue to influence our development roadmap today as we expand into new filtration segments beyond our traditional markets.
