Hollingsworth & Vose iis significantly expanding the capacity of its Technostat electret filtration media products. This new capacity will be installed at the company’s Hatzfeld Germany location and will begin operation in the second half of 2021. Technostat is the highest performing electret filter media for cabin air, HVAC, air purifier and other indoor air quality (IAQ) applications requiring high filtration efficiency and low pressure drop.

With the latest Hatzfeld investment, H&V is further improving its global Technostat manufacturing footprint, which already includes Kentmere, U.K. and Floyd, VA.


“This expansion will allow H&V to further support the growth of our key customers and strategic growth markets, globally. We are especially proud of the impact Technostat® has made in the fight against COVID-19,” says Patrick Demchko, global director of product line management at H&V.

“People are really starting to pay attention to indoor air quality, and how that air quality impacts their health. Whether in your home, your car, or within any commercial building, including schools and hospitals, Technostat® offers a unique solution to the market in that it has the highest efficiency at the lowest air flow resistance available.”
