Germany: Hengst has acquired all the shares of the Danish filtration specialist Nordic Air Filtration. The Münster-based filtration manufacturer said that the acquisition was part of its growth strategy.

"Nordic Air Filtration's entire product portfolio is an excellent complement to our current expertise in the field of industrial filtration. Our goal is to expand our activities in the non-automotive market further and to transfer our competence and technology as a partner in the automotive industry to filtration applications in these related segments," said owner Jens Röttgering.

Nordic Air produces industrial air filtration systems and it supplies dealers and original equipment manufactures worldwide. The company has three locations in Denmark and in the UAE and employs around 100 staff who generate sales of over Euro15m/yr. Nordic Air Filtration has a very large portfolio of around 4000 different filter products and more than 20 different filter media for gas turbines and industrial applications. André Radley Grundahl, who was formerly Managing Director of Nordic Air, will continue to oversee business operations.
