GKD Gebr. Kufferath AG
About
GKD Gebr. Kufferath AG, founded in 1925 by Josef Kufferath in Düren, Germany, is a fourth-generation family-owned technology leader in technical woven mesh, filter media, and process belt systems with approximately 800 employees and €123 million in 2024 revenue across six production sites on four continents. The company's mesh portfolio spans over fifteen weave types — including TELA (5-shaft atlas), POROMETRIC optimized-pore mesh, VOLUMETRIC deep-bed media, KPZ Microdur, TRIMETRIC, and Ymax — engineered for precision particle separation in liquid and gas filtration. GKD's shaped parts division produces CAPTURION microplastic filters capturing up to 97% of solid particles in road runoff, alongside filter candles, filter discs (Filterscheiben), filter rolls, and custom mesh segments. In process equipment, GKD manufactures filter presses, thickeners and clarifiers (Eindicker und Klärer), vacuum belt filters (Vakuumbandfilter), and belt classifiers (Bandklassierer) for sludge dewatering and solid-liquid separation. The process belt range covers filter belts, dryer belts (Trocknerbänder), washer belts, former belts (Formierbänder), and heating belts including the BLUEBACKER line with ECO GRIP SC drum covering. Their screening media catalog provides polyurethane, rubber, and perforated plate screen panels plus woven wire and wedge wire screens for mining, aggregate, and recycling. GKD also produces MEDIAMESH LED-integrated architectural mesh facades. Water-sector markets include municipal wastewater, drinking water treatment, aquaculture, irrigation, and industrial effluent, served through operations in Germany, the USA, Chile, South Africa, China, France, Spain, and Dubai.
