About the Exhibition

From June 30 to July 2, 2026, Cologne, Germany hosted FILTECH, the world's largest filtration and separation technology exhibition. The event brought together more than 600 exhibitors and thousands of industry professionals from over 50 countries, creating a global platform for showcasing technological advancements, innovative solutions, and emerging trends across all filtration and separation applications.

MS factory participated in FILTECH 2026 to present its comprehensive range of industrial filtration solutions, reconnect with existing customers and partners, and explore new business opportunities across European and global markets. The participation underscores the company's commitment to remaining at the forefront of filtration technology and serving customers worldwide with high-quality, cost-effective filtration products.

Products on Display at Our Booth

At the MS factory booth, visitors encountered a curated selection of filtration products spanning pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, industrial water treatment, and food and beverage processing. The displayed product lines represented the company's core manufacturing capabilities and most widely deployed solutions.

Featured products included the ePTFE Capsule Filter series with hydrophobic expanded PTFE membrane for sterile air, gas filtration, tank venting, and aggressive solvent applications, each unit verified through 100 percent integrity testing. The PVDF Capsule Filter series drew interest for aqueous processing and low extractables applications, with on-line integrity testing support via Staubli vent connections. Also on display were the SIP/CIP Capsule Filter series for sterilization-in-place and cleaning-in-place applications, the High Flow Filter Cartridge series for high-volume water treatment, and the Vent Filter series for sterile tank venting.

Technical team members were available throughout the exhibition to demonstrate product features, discuss application requirements, and provide customized filtration recommendations to visitors from around the world.

Which Technologies Drew the Most Attention

Several technologies generated significant interest among exhibition visitors. The ePTFE membrane capsule filters attracted particular attention from pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers seeking reliable sterile air and solvent filtration solutions. Visitors responded positively to the broad chemical resistance, high flow rates at low pressure drop, and 100 percent integrity testing that characterize the ePTFE filter line.

The SIP/CIP capsule filter line also generated strong engagement, particularly from pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers and system integrators looking for robust filtration solutions capable of withstanding repeated sterilization and cleaning cycles. The on-line integrity testing capability was frequently cited as a practical advantage for batch release documentation and regulatory compliance workflows.

High flow filter cartridges attracted attention from water treatment companies and industrial filtration distributors seeking cost-effective solutions for high-volume pretreatment applications. The expanded-diameter pleated design, which reduces the number of housings required for a given flow rate, proved to be a popular discussion topic with engineering and procurement teams.

Conversations with Visitors and Partners

FILTECH 2026 provided a valuable opportunity to connect with existing customers and establish new relationships. The company received positive feedback on the quality and reliability of its filtration products, with several existing customers expressing satisfaction with consistent batch quality, competitive pricing, and responsive technical support.

Promising new contacts were established with pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers, water treatment system integrators, and industrial filtration distributors from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Several visitors expressed interest in OEM and private label programs, and initial discussions were initiated for potential partnerships in various European markets. The technical team provided on-site consultations and product demonstrations, helping visitors identify optimal filtration solutions for their specific applications.

Trends We Noticed Across the Show Floor

FILTECH 2026 highlighted several key trends shaping the filtration industry. Single-use and disposable filtration systems continue to gain traction in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, driven by the need for flexible production capacity and reduced cleaning validation costs. Advanced membrane materials, including improved ePTFE and modified PVDF membranes, are enabling higher flow rates, better retention efficiency, and broader chemical compatibility across applications.

Integrated integrity testing is becoming increasingly standard, with more filter manufacturers offering dedicated vent ports and on-line testing capabilities to support regulatory compliance. Sustainability and waste reduction are growing priorities, with manufacturers developing longer-lasting filter media and high-flow designs that minimize the number of filters required for a given throughput.

These trends align closely with MS factory's product development strategy, and the company is well positioned to address the evolving needs of the global filtration market with its comprehensive product portfolio and ongoing investment in research and development.
