Camfil Reinforces Sustainability Efforts and Expands Local Presence in China

Stockholm, Sweden – Camfil, a global leader in clean air solutions, is announcing two significant updates in its operations in Mainland China: the opening of a new office in Shanghai and the completion of a large-scale solar panel installation at its manufacturing plant in Taicang. These milestones reflect Camfil’s commitment to environmental responsibility and customer-focused growth in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

Following a successful visit by Camfil Group CEO Mark Simmons, who attended both milestone events, the company reaffirms its dedication to building closer relationships with local customers and enhancing its sustainable business practices.

At the Taicang facility, more than 2,000 rooftop photovoltaic panels have been installed. This system is expected to generate approximately 1.4 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually—covering nearly 30% of the plant’s total energy needs and reducing over 1,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year. Combined with green electricity sourced from the grid, Taicang’s overall green power usage now stands at approximately 90%, marking a major achievement in Camfil’s global sustainability roadmap.

“This is part of our ongoing work to reduce environmental impact not just in our own operations, but across the entire value chain,” said Mark Simmons. “Cleaner production helps our customers lower their own carbon footprint and supports transparency through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).”

EPDs have recently become a major topic of interest in the APAC region, with growing demand for verified environmental performance across industries. In response to this trend, Camfil has launched its very first EPD-certified air filter in Asia—marking a significant step in sustainable product innovation for the region.

The new Shanghai office will serve as a strategic hub to support Camfil’s local teams and provide even stronger service to customers throughout Mainland China. It enhances the company’s presence in one of its most important markets, enabling faster response times, localized expertise, and closer customer partnerships.

These developments align with Camfil’s global mission to deliver clean air solutions that are not only effective, but also environmentally responsible—supporting people, processes, and the planet.
