Düren, Germany, September 24, 2024, presenting its most recent technical mesh solutions at the FILTECH 2024 trade show in Cologne, Germany, is GKD-Gebr. Kufferath AG. “WEAVING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE” is the subject for GKD, where the global leader in the market from Germany will demonstrate how its cutting-edge filtration and separation technologies are transforming the process industry and municipal water management sector and making them future proof.
