Cleanova acquires Micronics Engineered Filtration Group

Cleanova has acquired Micronics Engineered Filtration Group, a renowned manufacturer of filter media, filtration systems, and field services.

This strategic move enhances Cleanova’s portfolio, enabling it to deliver advanced solutions for a wide range of industrial applications while prioritising environmental protection and operational efficiency.

The acquisition marks Cleanova’s fourth major deal since its inception in 2023, following its purchase of Allied Filtration in January 2025.

Global growth

By integrating Micronics’ expertise in pressure and vacuum filtration, as well as its strong presence in air filtration, Cleanova said it will strengthen its footprint in North America, EMEA, and other key markets.

Chris Cummins, former Micronics executive, has been appointed CEO of Cleanova, bringing extensive industry experience to the role.

“Joining forces with Cleanova marks a pivotal moment for our business, positioning us for a new chapter of accelerated growth and innovation on a global scale. This strategic move will further enable our ongoing ambitions to expand our global reach and diversify our product offering while maintaining our commitment to delivering excellence to our customers,” said Cummins. 

Headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Micronics operates globally with facilities in the USA, UK, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, India, China, and Australia. Its portfolio includes well-known brands such as Micronics, Action Filtration, SOLAFT, and Filterfab, alongside its innovative vacuum filtration equipment and filter presses.

This acquisition aligns with Cleanova’s customer-centric approach and commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability, the company said in a statement.

By combining Micronics’ upstream filtration capabilities with Cleanova’s leadership in liquid filtration, the company is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of industrial customers worldwide.

Javaid Riaz, former Cleanova CEO and now member of the board of directors, said, “This announcement marks a significant milestone in Cleanova’s growth journey, propelling us into a new phase of geographical expansion and product diversification. We are excited to become one of the largest independent industrial filtration companies in the world.”

“Looking ahead, we will actively connect with customers, employees, and other stakeholders to communicate our vision for the expanded Cleanova group and our strategy to capitalise on future opportunities,” concluded Cummins.

Established in October 2023 and backed by pan-European private equity firm Px3 Partners, Cleanova brings together cutting-edge ideas and trusted filtration technology brands to deliver innovative solutions for cleaner environments. The company is dedicated to exceeding customer expectations in performance and cost-efficiency while contributing to a more sustainable future.
