FILTECH is an important industry meeting and a must for every filtration specialist. The combination ofconference and trade fair is an ideal way to gather experts, customers, suppliers, and the trade press in one place toexchange 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
