Wir feiern 175 Jahre Freudenberg. Seit 175 Jahren arbeiten wir dafür, innovative Lösungen zu finden und technologischen Fortschritt zu gestalten. Damals wie heute ist Neugier der Motor. Wir sind: Curious Since 1849.
Die Filtrationslösung von Freudenberg Filtration Technologies schützt die Gesundheit des Bedienpersonals und sichert die Funktionalität von Bergbaufahrzeugen.
Eine Auszeichnung mit Tradition – zum zehnten Mal in Folge vergab die American Honda Motor Co., Inc. den Honda Service Parts Supplier Award an Freudenberg Filtration Technologies.
Freudenberg baut sein Filtergeschäft strategisch weiter aus. In den USA übernimmt die Freudenberg-Geschäftsgruppe Filtration Technologies vom bisherigen Private-Equity-Eigentümer HKW die Protect Plus Air Holding Incorporated.
With the SARS-CoV-2 virus still dominating world news and public discussion, sources of infection and how to protect against it remain a hot topic. One key area is public transportation, where people necessarily gather together in confined spaces: an...
Global responses to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus have thrown an unintended light on one of the world’s greatest health hazards: air pollution. The extreme restrictions placed on economic activity and normal human movement have had an instant effect on air quality.
Becoming infected by a virus indoors depends heavily on exposure to air with a high viral load. In other words, the air you breathe externally is directly related to contracting viruses internally. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, this topic has become more relevant than ever.
Located in the German Rhineland-Palatinate, Freudenberg’s Kaiserslautern site has a long history of successful innovation as well as being known throughout the Group for its friendly atmosphere and strong values.
As the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus continues to be in evidence across the globe, it reminds us of the constant threat to health posed by viral infection. Even when the current virus finally recedes, it is certain that new variants will emerge. Known viruses will continue to proliferate, as has been the case throughout human history.
Given the vast numbers of people who use mass transit such as buses and coaches daily, these modes of transport represent an obvious source of viral infection risk. This created an opportunity for Freudenberg to manufacture an innovative filtration solution specifically aimed at these mass-transport vehicles.
Powered by hydrogen and emitting nothing more than water, fuel cells have been widely discussed as the solution of future train mobility. Already in use on industrial sites to power forklift trucks, for example, they are a promising drive technology for cars. But their potential doesn’t end on the road. Recent studies have shown that fuel-cell-hydrogen (FCH) trains may be a viable proposition.
From asthma and respiratory diseases to cancer and dementia, the negative effects of air pollution on physical health have long been known and documented. What is now coming to light is the potential impact that poor air quality can have on mental health.
Being a globally active company does not necessarily equate with acting in a globally coordinated manner. To be truly “global” means structuring your organization in a global manner and ensuring that regional coordination is sustained around the world.
If the world is to successfully combat growing levels of air pollution, transportation must shift from its reliance on fossil fuels to alternative energy solutions. Among the various emerging drive technologies, fuel cells are proving an alternative to combustion engines.
Although air quality in general has gradually improved in recent decades, large areas of the USA, Canada and Mexico are still plagued by polluted air. As well as its general impact on the population, air pollution has serious adverse effects in particularly for asthma sufferers, the elderly, and the very young.
Developing innovative filter media is one thing: gaining deep insights into their effectiveness is something else. When it comes to testing the latest filter solutions for their ability to neutralize allergens and germs, Freudenberg Filtration Technologies turns to the OFI in Vienna, Austria.
Conveniently located within a few minutes’ drive of the Freudenberg Group’s global headquarters, the charmingly named “Saukopftunnel” (sow’s head tunnel) provides our filtration experts with a perfect testing ground.
In January 2020, Senior General Manager Freudenberg India Ashok Pandey will celebrate 20 years with the company. Given that many people change employers several times over that period, what has kept him with us for so long?
In spite of increased efforts across the world to fight the causes of air pollution, it remains the single most significant threat to human health. As the world gets hotter and more crowded, engines continue to pump out dirty emissions.
As the global population increases, pressure on food production has never been greater. This not only means finding effective ways to maximize soil fertility. It also means preventing crop destruction as a result of insect and pest infestation.
The development of alternative fuel concepts is a crucial component in the fight to sustainably reduce air pollution. Alongside electric and hybrid drive chains, hydrogen is increasingly being seen as a viable long-term solution.
When we spoke to Tim Wei about the challenges facing the automotive filtration sector in the coming years, his response was clear: “Freudenberg’s ability to innovate will be the key to our future success.
