WINKLER Filtertechnik, based in Werther in East Westphalia, Germany, is a manufacturer of industrial filters, nonwoven filter media and technical filter textiles. For more than 50 years, we have developed and manufactured filtration solutions for industry, environmental technology and mechanical engineering.
Our products are used in electroplating, water treatment, paint sludge dewatering, metalworking and environmental technology, among other applications.
As a medium-sized company, we stand for:
We are entrepreneurs, and we value working with people. Solving challenges, finding new approaches as a team and taking part in new developments have shaped our company for decades.
Fast. Reliable. Flexible.
For more than five decades, we have developed technical filtration solutions for industrial applications, combining textile manufacturing with practical experience from a wide range of industries.
Our range covers a broad spectrum of filtration products, from filter bags and filter sacks to filter cloths and nonwoven media, as well as specialised solutions such as anode bags, cathode bags and activated-carbon filtration components. Filters for rainwater systems, industrial processes and sludge dewatering are also part of our day-to-day work.
Our filtration products are used in, among other areas:
Many of our filters are not standard catalogue products but individually adapted solutions matched to our customers’ machines, plants and processes.
Alongside filtration technology, laser cutting technical textiles is one of our core capabilities.
With modern laser cutting systems, we produce:
Laser cutting enables clean cut edges, high repeatability and economical production even at low quantities.
The combination of filtration expertise and textile laser cutting is one of our particular strengths.
Many industrial applications cannot be solved with standard products. We therefore support customers from the first idea through to the finished filtration solution.
Together, we analyse existing plants and processes, clarify technical requirements and develop suitable filtration solutions. Our customers benefit from the combination of technical expertise and more than five decades of practical filtration experience.
Our development team combines technical and scientific knowledge with many years of manufacturing experience. The result is solutions that work not only in theory but in everyday industrial use.
We support customers with, for example:
Our customers particularly value practical advice, short communication paths and fast implementation.
Our filtration solutions are used across many industries, including:
The diversity of our customers gives us broad technical know-how and enables us to develop solutions across industry boundaries.
Alfred Winkler founded the company in Bielefeld in 1969.
WINKLER Filtertechnik has continued to develop ever since:
Today, the company is managed by Dr Dirk Schröer, Christiane Schröer and Mats Schröer.
Dr. Dirk Schröer
Dr Dirk Schröer holds a doctorate in chemistry and has extensive scientific and technical knowledge of filtration and industrial process engineering. Alongside his work at WINKLER Filtertechnik, he is managing director and owner of arrandee metal GmbH + Co. KG in Werther, a company specialising in technical metal coatings and thin-film materials for scientific and industrial applications.
Christiane Schröer
Christiane Schröer is a qualified textile engineer and contributes particular expertise in technical textiles, filter materials and textile manufacturing.
In 1995, she worked on Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Wrapped Reichstag project in Berlin, where she was responsible for quality control of the fabric used. The internationally recognised project, visited by millions of people, placed particularly high demands on material quality and textile workmanship.
Mats Schröer
With Mats Schröer, the next generation is already working in the business. He holds a Master’s degree in psychology and supports the company’s development particularly in organisational and strategic areas, helping to secure the long-term continuation of the family business.
By combining scientific expertise, textile know-how and decades of practical experience, WINKLER Filtertechnik brings technical competence together with practical solutions.
Today, we combine traditional manufacturing with modern technology and digital processes.
Sustainability is important to us.
Installing a photovoltaic system was another step towards lower-carbon production.
Many of our filtration solutions themselves contribute to environmental protection, for example:
microplastic filtration systems
rainwater filters
sludge dewatering
industrial water filtration
Our company is based in Werther in East Westphalia, a region with a long industrial tradition.
From here, we supply customers throughout Germany and Europe.
Our company size enables short communication paths and quick decisions, an advantage particularly valued by our industrial customers.
The kingfisher is our emblem.
Where the kingfisher thrives, waterways are still healthy, which is why it represents clean water and effective environmental technology.
As a medium-sized company competing with much larger market participants, we succeed through speed and adaptability, just like the kingfisher.
For more than 50 years, we have developed and manufactured industrial filters and textile filtration solutions for demanding applications.
Whether you need a standard product or a custom solution, we support you quickly and reliably.
