Particulate filters

Through the Notox company, SBS has established itself in the development and production of diesel particulate filters for on-road and off-road diesel powered vehicles and other mashinery with diesel motors. With a marked increase in the number of diesel-driven cars in Europe, the USA and Asia, combined with the coming introduction of more rigorous environmental protection legislation in the industrialised part of the world, this area offers a significant global market potential.The market for diesel particulate filters consists of an OE market where filters are used for the “first fit” primarily in the car industry, and a “retrofit” market, covering filters fitted on existing diesel motors.By establishing one of the world’s most up-to-date particulate filter factories in Svendborg in Denmark and flexible, modularly structured manufacturing and product concepts, Notox has built up a unique profile which ensures excellent sales on both the OE and retrofit markets.This unique position is founded on a patented filter material on the one hand, with unrivalled robustness in more demanding applications, and on the other hand a strategy of flexibility with regard to the sizes of both filters and production series.For further information on Notox A/S and diesel particulate filters, see www.notox.com.
