Münster. Hengst Filtration has opened its new TechCenter Filtration at its headquarters in Münster after a construction period of around one year. In the building where Walter Hengst founded the company in 1958, a new headquarters for everything filtration is being created.
In our TechCenter Filtration, we pool our innovative strengths in the field of basic industrial research and pre-development. This is where we research and develop solutions for issues that are new for Hengst or new for the world: Mobility transition, energy transformation, air pollution, microplastic filtration and much more.
Christopher Heine
CEO Hengst Filtration
The TechCenter Filtration, headed by Group Director Dr. Rolf Gausepohl, covers the development of new products, processes and measurement methods in one place, from the first samples to the pre-series product.
In the new premises, the developers benefit from the proximity to each other and the rapid exchange of information. In addition, the TechCenter Filtration is open to colleagues from other departments and can also be visited by external guests.
Based on the conviction that the current challenges are best overcome together, Hengst invites everyone to join in the search for solutions.
Dr. Rolf Gausepohl
Group Director TechCenter Filtration
In the TechCenter Filtration, Hengst is building up new competencies and developing solutions for flue gas filtration during invasive operations, for an electrified cabin air filter, for fuel cell drives and is also working on solutions for capturing and supplying carbon dioxide.
Hengst Filtration expects sales of around 750 million euros in 2023, an increase of around 100 million euros on the previous year. Above all, the company is vigorously driving forward its transformation from an automotive supplier to a filtration specialist in many areas. One exciting step in this direction this year was the investment in artemis control AG, a Swiss company in the field of trace gas filtration for semiconductor production.
