Ahlstrom Corporation PRESS RELEASE August 7, 2012 at 13.00
Ahlstrom, a global high performance materials company, has completed an
investment on additional capacity in filtration material at its site in Turin,
Italy. The company has started to ramp up its new saturator line, which is
expected to be commercial during the third quarter of 2012, slightly ahead of
the planned schedule. The value of the investment, initially announced in
December 2010, is approximately EUR 17.5 million.
"This capacity increase in Turin is an important step for Ahlstrom's Filtration
business area. We are committed to grow with our customers as a global supplier
in the filtration market with a full offering of filter media. We are pleased to
be able to provide the newest technology to our customers, both for
transportation and advanced filtration materials. This way we will help our
customers to stay ahead," stated Tommi Björnman, Executive Vice President,
Filtration.
"We are excited about the new saturator line, which has state-of-the-art control
equipment that ensures manufacturing of a very consistent, clean and high
quality media," said Gary Blevins, Vice President, Transportation Filtration.
Ahlstrom is the global leader of filtration materials with 11 production sites
across four continents. Earlier this year, Ahlstrom announced that it has
completed significant upgrades with various filtration testing and simulation
equipment to its Global Filtration Technical Center in Turin, Italy. These
investments ensure Ahlstrom's capabilities to offer new and innovative solutions
for its customers globally.
