Freudenberg Filtration Technologies (FFT) has added a new cabin air filter production line at its US factory in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

“With this multi-million dollar investment, the company confirmed its commitment to the US automotive market,” the supplier said in a statement.

FFT global operations head Barry Kellar said: “We are delighted that this year-long project is complete, and we can continue to provide the world-class product made by our dedicated Hopkinsville workforce to our North American customers.”  

FFT, which claims to have introduced cabin air filters to the North American automotive market in the late 1980s, said it continued to play the role of market leader through introduction of new and improved products and investments in product development and manufacturing facilities. The newly added high-speed edge band converting line will increase the factory’s output and ensure uniformly high quality products.

FFT employs around 120 people at Hopkinsville which houses sales, development and manufacturing.
