🌐 FILTRATION WEEKLY: Global Industry Intelligence

Issue: FW021526 | Date: February 15, 2026

Industry Intelligence | Brief of the World Filtration Institute (WFI)

This issue covers Atmus, Camfil, Ahlstrom, DuPont, Cleanova, MANN+HUMMEL, etc.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The filtration industry is currently propelled by a "supercycle" in AI-driven data center cooling and a mandate for digital transparency. Atmus punctuated this shift with record FY2025 revenues, while Cleanova and Harmsco launched new platforms for real-time operational intelligence and high-durability municipal liquid processing. Innovation is increasingly defined by "Green Chemistry"—led by MANN+HUMMEL’s award-winning lignin-based media—and circular design, as seen in Ahlstrom’s latest recyclable fiber solutions and DuPont’s breakthrough wastewater reuse membranes. Meanwhile, Camfil is setting new benchmarks in environmental resilience, providing critical technical guidance for wildfire smoke protection. TOP NEWS HEADLINES (LAST 7 DAYS)
