FILTROX has strengthened its presence in North America. On October 14th, FILTROX Holding AG has purchased the remaining shares of FILTROX Columbia de México SA de CV from the original founding families Plasencia and Velazquez. FILTROX has held a majority participation in this company since 2013. Its state-of-the-art production facility in Tlalnepantla, Mexico already manufactures filter media and filter equipment at high quality levels for FILTROX customers all over the world.

The new ownership structure will allow an even better integration of the Tlalnepantla manufacturing facility into the global supply network of FILTROX. Its location is ideal for our customers in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America for whom it has offered a close and stable source for FILTROX filter media for many years. FILTROX plans to expand the capacity of the plant in the coming years with significant investments.
