The acquisition significantly expands Micronics’ portfolio of engineered filtration solutions to better serve customers’ baghouse filtration needs in industries such as cement.

With AFT, we strengthen our capabilities in woven fiberglass and high-temperature felt media to provide our customers with the best achievable emission control for their facilities,” Wettstaedt concluded.
