Dana Corporation’s Wix Filtration Products Group and Helsa-Werke (Helmut Sandier GmbH & Co) have formed a joint venture to produce particulate and odour removal air filtration products for automotive, commercial and industrial markets in North America. Dana will own 60% of WixFiltration Helsa Technologies, Inc, the new joint venture, and Helsa 40%. The research, development and production facilities will be housed in a Wix facility in Gastonia, North Carolina, USA. Initially, the new company will focus on the fastgrowing market for cabin air filters for passenger cars, trucks and recreational vehicles. The combined technology of Wix and Helsa will also be used
to provide technology for improved air quality in ‘offices, commercial buildings and manufacturing facilities Cabin air filters were first developed to remove dust, pollen and other particulates from the air coming into the vehicle passenger compartment. Helsa pioneered the development of filters that remove odours from the air flow. Today, 50% of all new European cars come equipped with cabin air filters. Forecasts say about 85% of all new cars will have cabin air filters by the year 2000, when the market will reach $100 million in North America and $400 million worldwide.

New deveiopments in the markets for nonwovens as well as the latest advances in nonwoven technology will be featured at EDANA’s Nordic Nonwovens Symposium, to be held in Gothenburg, Sweden on 4 and 5 June 1997. Offers of original papers are now invited from companies, research institutes, universities and individuals, who should send a short abstract to EDANA for evaluation. The market in Europe continues to grow, despite the present difficulties in Europe and unfavourable price conditions. Production rose by 5.5% in 1995 to 634 000 tonnes. This growth was fuelled mainly by developments in Italy and in Scandinavia, resulting from investments coming on stream, and from the impact of currency devaluations. The previous symposium, held in Bologna in 1995, attracted 263 delegates from 155 companies from 19 countries. EDANA, 157 Avenue Eugene Plasky, Bte 4, 1030 Brussels, Belgium.
