HIFI FILTER® strengthens its global position with the acquisition of FILVENT in South Africa

We are proud to announce the acquisition of FILVENT Holdings, one of the leading players in the filtration market in South Africa.
Formalised on 21 November 2024, this acquisition illustrates our ambition to expand our international presence, by establishing ourselves for the first time on the African continent.

The acquisition of FILVENT, a South African company founded in 1991 and based in eMalahleni (Witbank Mpumalanga) near Pretoria, opens up new opportunities in the fast-growing Southern African market. With this acquisition, we are extending our distribution network by integrating a key player in the industrial and mobile filtration sector, thereby consolidating our growth strategy. FILVENT, managed by the Vos family, is recognised for its 40 years of experience and expertise in the field of industrial dust collection and the manufacture of air filter housings for internal combustion engines. With 70 employees, a sales office in Johannesburg and an extensive distribution network, FILVENT provides HIFI FILTER® with valuable expertise and direct market access covering the Southern African region.

Through this acquisition, HIFI FILTER® aims to strengthen its presence and proximity in Southern Africa.
The integration of FILVENT also marks a turning point for the Swiss group, which will open its first sales outlet outside Europe. With this acquisition, the group now has 850 employees spread over 8 distribution sites and 2 production sites around the world.

By strengthening its technical expertise and expanding its geographical footprint, HIFI FILTER® is opening up new prospects for growth in the industrial dedusting solutions market and beyond. With this new chapter, HIFI FILTER® consolidates its position as a global player in filtration and aims to meet the specific needs of its African customers with the same responsiveness and quality that have made it a success in Europe.
