“AFS is the leading community for filtration separation. AFS provides beneficial training and education for all areas of filtration.
The AFS conferences and events provide a forum for networking with a spotlight on innovation within the filtration industry.”

Josh Ayer, President & CEO
“Alkegen, (formerly Lydall) has been involved with AFS for 2 decades. We understand the value that AFS brings to the global filtration community. It is hard to quantify how much we have benefited from AFS through their training courses, technical conferences, networking events and recruiting new engineers. I have been involved with AFS since I was a graduate student. The benefits of partnering with AFS are so many and we want to continue supporting AFS in every way possible.”
Rahul Bharadwaj, Applications Engineering Manager

“Spectubular Technologies is new to the filtration market and we have found becoming AFS members to be our most effective marketing strategy. We make the most of our membership by not just attending events, but by taking advantage of the opportunities to be seen more by bringing a larger team, having an interactive exhibit, attending networking events, and choosing among the opportunities for sponsorship for additional exposure.”

Wendy Beach, Director of Business Development and Operations
“AFS provides a great platform for companies who want to stay relevant in the filtration market. Gessner has been a member of AFS for many years. We take advantage of the discounted training courses to help teach filtration fundamentals to new employees. We use the Market Landscape Reports to keep up to date and use their conferences and tradeshows to network with filtration experts, which helps spur growth and innovation. We are very happy with the value and opportunities AFS has provided our organization.”
James Sandy, Sales Director, Industrial Processes
“Our AFS Corporate membership delivers a wide range of benefits at a tremendous value to FTC. In addition to valuable brand exposure and access to market landscape reports, our membership supports AFS as the nation’s leader in filtration and separation training and education and propels the future of the industry via networking, relationship-building, and the exchange of information. It also provides opportunities for personal growth for our team members to participate in committees. The discounts for Corporate members for conferences and training courses pay for the membership.”
Chris Wallace, Sr. Corporate Vice President
