Valmet to Expand Filter Fabric Manufacturing

Valmet, a leading supplier of filter fabrics and industrial textiles, reports it has decided to invest in filter fabric manufacturing in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in order to better respond to the growing demand of high-performing filter fabrics in both the mining and pulp and paper industries in South America. The new facility will be in operation during the first half of 2025.

“The investment includes the relocation of the current office and manufacturing facility in Belo Horizonte, new machinery, and improvements in the operations’ energy efficiency and emission reduction. It gives us the necessary assets to further develop sustainable services close to customers,” said Jarkko Syrjälä, Director, Filtration at Valmet.

“Improved delivery times will strengthen our position in the South American market. The investment will also ensure our capacity for the coming years to deliver filter fabrics that respond to customer needs and provide maximized reliability and optimized performance for their filtration process,” added Felipe Floriani, Services Director, South America, Valmet.
