FILTECH 2026 is an international platform for the filtration industry, offering insights into the latest technological developments and innovative solutions in the fields of filtration and separation.

Our experts, Dr. Ralf Kirsch, a member of the Scientific Committee of the FILTECH Conference, and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Mercier from the division »Processes and Materials«, are on site with specialist presentations and a booth. The focus is on simulation-based approaches for the development and optimization of filter media and manufacturing processes – from nonwoven production to filter pleats and filter elements, all the way to the filtration of polymer melts.

In addition, they demonstrate how the entire process chain – from filament to end products such as protective masks or pleated filters – can be modeled to shorten development times and bring products to market faster.
