“What a fantastic three days at FILTECH 2026 in Cologne!😃

We are leaving the exhibition full of energy and inspiration after meeting so many existing customers, partners, and new contacts from around the world.

AQOZA – India

That’s a wrap on FILTECH Exhibition 2026! Three days at Hall 8, Stand F56 and every single one of them counted.

A big thank you to everyone who visited our stall, explored our solutions, and brought us real challenges from the field. Your questions, insights, and conversations are what made this exhibition truly worthwhile.

Filtech reaffirmed what drives us; the pursuit of cleaner, safer air through continuous innovation in gas-phase filtration. From our Corrosense Active 2.0 to our Corrosense Passive v2.0, the interest and validation we received pushes us to keep innovating, keep engineering, and keep raising the bar in corrosion monitoring and control.

We leave Cologne with new connections, fresh perspectives, and renewed energy to keep making air safer; one facility at a time.

Until next time, Cologne. 👋”

Chegamos ao terceiro e último dia da maior feira internacional de filtração e separação, encerrando uma agenda intensa de visitas, aprendizado e networking com alguns dos principais fabricantes e especialistas do setor.

“Last week, we were at FILTECH Exhibition 2026 with the CF Industrial team. We look back on an incredibly successful fair! For three days, our booth was all about valuable meetings, inspiring conversations about air quality and of course, plenty of talks with familiar faces and new acquaintances. It’s always nice to see the industry come together again.
To take a moment to look back (and for everyone we unfortunately missed), we are happy to share a short impression from the exhibition floor. Watch the video below!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to visit our booth. We enjoyed talking to you. On to the next Filtech!”

Dr. Sebastian Brill – Technical Project Coordinator – Max-Planck-Institut für Chemie – Germany

“On Wednesday I attended the FILTECH exhibition in Cologne for the first time, and I was surprised by how diverse the field of filtration is. Of course, as an aerosol and air quality specialist, it’s an area I’m especially passionate about, but areas like filter manufacturing, wastewater treatment and beverage filtration sparked my curiosity too. I could really learn a lot.

I was especially happy to meet people from the aerosol measurement field, talking about the newest developments in aerosol characterisation and filter testing and also chatting about how complex and challenging this field can be, with all the small details to consider.”

CarboTech – Germany

“FILTECH Exhibition 2026 has come to an end, and we look back with gratitude on several intensive, successful, and inspiring days at the exhibition.

A particular highlight was the combination of #ActivatedCarbon and the antimicrobial #AGXXTechnology – a promising approach to creating #sustainable, high-performance filtration systems for the #future!

See you next time, FILTECH! 🙌”

Filter Concept – India

“FILTECH 2026 proved what we have always believed. The world is ready for a smarter approach to filtration.

For Filter Concept, this edition was not just about being present at the world’s largest filtration exhibition. It was about understanding a market, listening to how European and global buyers think, and introducing what we have been building towards. Four models that we believe are the future of industrial filtration.

The conversations on the floor told us something important. The global filtration community is asking the right questions. And we are glad to have been in that room to be part of those answers.

Comparing this to our first FilTech in 2011, the growth has been in more ways than one.”

Sanket Atre – Intensiv-Filter Himenviro

“Another incredible edition of FILTECH Cologne! Proud to represent our team as an exhibitor in FILTECH 2026.

As someone in sales, meeting customers in person is a regular part of my job. However, FILTECH offers something different—it brings together customers, suppliers, technology providers, and industry experts from around the world under one roof. It creates the perfect environment for meaningful technical discussions and exploring new opportunities.

During the exhibition, I had the chance to reconnect with existing customers, meet potential new partners, and strengthen relationships with our suppliers. We discussed current projects, upcoming requirements, and scheduled follow-up meetings to continue these conversations.

Beyond networking, it was exciting to see the latest developments in filtration technologies, process optimization, and sustainable solutions. These insights help us better understand industry trends and deliver more value to our customers.”
