Ahlstrom, Finland, reports that it will invest in additional transportation filtration materials capacity at its site in Louveira, Brazil. The investment will be completed in the first quarter of 2012.
"We have been pleased to grow with our key customers and as a commitment to the filtration business we are expanding the operation. This is another important step in our global growth roadmap where we have strengthened our global platform in Europe, Asia, and now in South America. We will continue to keep our focus on our markets in all four geographies, enabling Ahlstrom to be a global supplier in the filtration market with a full offering of filter media," said Gary Blevins, VP, Transportation Filtration.
