The leading platform and meeting point for filtration professionals
FILTREX™, the leading platform for filtration professionals
A 2-day conference and exhibition bringing together filtration experts, technical specialists and industry leaders along the supply chain, with a clear focus on technological and sustainability innovations, for instance driving media and filter performances or demonstrating their role in reducing emissions.
As the second-most-important aspect of the conference, the priceless network cultivated within the exhibition, the coffee breaks and cocktail evening will stay with you long after the event!
The FILTREX™ Innovation Award
The FILTREX™ Innovation Award competition is organised within the framework of the FILTREX™ conference and is part of EDANA's broader effort to support and celebrate innovation within the nonwoven and related industry. This reward recognizes the efforts of all manufacturers of nonwoven based filtration products/elements and celebrate their continuous efforts for excellence.
In 2025, the winner of the FILTREX™ Innovation Award was Johns Manville for its Evalith® product. Their groundbreaking recycling process transforms HVAC glass microfiber waste into compounded pellets for injection molding, turning waste into durable, second-life products.

COMING SOON
FILTREX™ 2025, EDANA’s flagship event for the filtration industry, wrapped up last week after two dynamic days of discussions, technical advancements, and industry collaboration.
The 10th edition of FILTREX brought together experts from across the filtration industry to discuss innovation, sustainability, and regulatory challenges shaping the sector.
The event opened with a keynote by Dr.-Ing. Frank Möbius, Senior Innovation Advisor at UnternehmerTUM and former BMW Group Manager, highlighting the role of Open Innovation in maintaining competitiveness in an evolving market.
Throughout the following sessions, industry leaders addressed major trends influencing filtration, such as how economic and social shifts are reshaping filtration markets, the impact of evolving air quality guidelines and PFAS restrictions on filter design or the development of biodegradable filter media.
Reflecting on the event, Dr. Anthony Lawson, Senior Filtration Specialist at Hengst Filtration, emphasized FILTREX’s unique role in fostering meaningful discussions on critical industry topics. “FILTREX is unique in the calendar of conferences for filtration as it takes a step back and allows for a considered look at the broader aspects of the global issues that affect the entire supply chain from raw materials, through nonwovens to final filters in a single setting. The FILTREX 2025 event allowed for a healthy debate and discussion on the topics of innovation, sustainability, and the critical issue of PFAS use and its replacement. The nature of the conference allows for presentations from all sectors of the industry as well as ensuring maximum participation with round table discussions on the themes presented.”
FILTREX™ Innovation Award 2025
A major highlight of the event was the FILTREX™ Innovation Award, which this year went to Johns Manville for its Evalith® product. Their groundbreaking recycling process transforms HVAC glass microfiber waste into compounded pellets for injection molding, turning waste into durable, second-life products. The award was presented during a Networking Evening Cocktail at Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, providing an ideal atmosphere for further discussions and potential collaborations.
With its combination of expert insights, interactive discussions, and a strong focus on industry-wide collaboration, FILTREX 2025 once again reinforced its position as a key event for the global filtration community.
