Kerstar cleaners at Interclean for first time under Filtermist ownership

Kerstar industrial vacuum cleaners will be on show on Stand 122, Hall 5 at Interclean in Amsterdam from 10th – 13th May. This will be the first time the brand has appeared at Interclean under the ownership of Filtermist International Limited.

The Kerstar stand will focus on ATEX rated models, Type H cleaners which are suitable for hazardous dusts, and swarf vacuums which are used to safely remove excess swarf from inside and around machine tools.

Billed as the world's leading tradeshow for cleaning and hygiene professionals, Interclean provides an ideal opportunity for the Kerstar team to meet with both existing and potential distributors, as well as end users.

Kerstar Product Manager, Ben Kimpton, comments, “We were due to attend Interclean in 2020, but unfortunately that show was cancelled due to the pandemic. The 2022 show will be the first chance we will have had to meet with many of our distributors face to face and we are looking forward to putting names to faces!

“Filtermist acquired Kerstar in 2019 and since then we have significantly invested in refreshing the brand, creating a new website and moving production from Northampton, where the company was based for more than 50 years, to Telford alongside the rest of Filtermist’s manufacturing operations.”

Kerstar’s portable industrial vacuums are used in a wide range of industries including additive manufacturing, asbestos removal, food and beverage, and metalworking, in more than 19 countries worldwide including Europe, New Zealand and India.

“We have ambitious targets for the Kerstar brand globally,” continues Ben. “As a key fixture in our industry’s calendar, Interclean is the ideal event to showcase the changes that have taken place over the past three years, as well as our current product offering to both distributors and end-users.”

Ben will be at the show all week along with Kerstar Product Engineer, Jack Teichman. If you would like to arrange a meeting with Ben or Jack at the show, please email ben.kimpton@filtermist.com directly.

We look forward to seeing you at Interclean in May!
