Camfil Air Pollution Control announces that its parent, Camfil, will acquire Handte Umwelttechnik GmbH in Germany and Handte’s operations in Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and China. The acquisition, pending approval from the authorities in Germany, is expected to close in the first quarter this year. Handte will be part of the Camfil APC business unit, which specializes in industrial dust and fume collection.
 
Handte is a manufacturer and provider of environmental engineering products, filter technology processes, and air pollution control applications.
 
“Handte has a full line of dust collectors, mist collectors and wet scrubbers that strategically complement the Farr Gold Series cartridge dust collection line. The integration of these product lines will broaden our portfolio and strengthen the company’s industrial air pollution control offerings to customers in the U.S. and internationally,” says Camfil APC president Lee Morgan. Key applications for these products include metalworking and machining, automotive, foundry, mining, and dry processing industries including chemical, food, and pharmaceutical.
