Hollingsworth & Vose Co Is Adding in Nanowave Filtration Media Production Capability

Hollingsworth & Vose Co is adding in NanoWave filtration media production capability at its plant in Hatzfeld, Germany to support growing demand for high performance filter media. The Hatzfeld production line is expected to start operations by mid 2015 and will serve European customers.   Hollingsworth & Vose currently manufactures NanoWave media in Floyd, Virginia, USA.   "In addition to the European capacity expansion, further performance improvements and next generation product developments will result in increased service levels for our European customers," said Jochem Hofstetter, Hollingsworth & Vose's vice president & managing director EMEA.   NanoWave, which won the IDEA13 Achievement Award for rolled goods, achieves higher levels of filtration efficiency at reduced pressure drops.
