Event overview
FiltraTec Expo 2027 is the third edition of Poland’s trade fair for filtration technology and filter applications, running 11–13 May 2027 at Ptak Warsaw Expo in Nadarzyn, Warsaw.
It connects industrial buyers with makers of air, gas, water and process filtration systems, and includes the Filtration Tech Forum conference.
TL;DR
Visit FiltraTec Expo 2027 to compare air, gas, water and process filtration systems side by side, meet Polish and international suppliers, and sit in on the Filtration Tech Forum. The compact three-day format at Ptak Warsaw Expo suits plant engineers, maintenance managers, purchasing teams and environmental specialists who need specific filter, membrane or separation solutions rather than a broad industrial show.
Exhibit at FiltraTec Expo 2027 to reach Polish plant managers, process engineers, water utilities and automotive filtration buyers in a focused B2B setting. The 2026 edition drew 3,789 trade visitors and 75 exhibitors, and the co-located Filtration Tech Forum adds technical sessions that bring qualified delegates onto the floor. Hall A places filtration brands next to the buyers actively sourcing replacement and new systems.

SourceImpact
FiltraTec Expo concentrates a modest but qualified filtration audience into three days in Hall A. For a Polish plant engineer or utility buyer, the value is a short, low-cost trip with suppliers for air, water and process filtration in one place; for a supplier, the 2026 base of 3,789 visitors and 75 exhibitors suggests a focused show where stand conversations are more important than raw footfall.
Audience quality
The visitor profile is technical and purchasing-oriented: plant owners and directors, process and chemical engineers, maintenance and quality specialists, water-utility staff and automotive filtration buyers. The 2026 edition reported 22 countries, so the floor combines Polish buyers with a smaller international contingent. Exhibitors should staff Polish-speaking technical salespeople rather than a general marketing team.
Exhibitor outcomes
A 9–24 sqm shell stand is the realistic entry point for a first Polish edition. Budget for a Polish-speaking lead team, a demo unit, and follow-up within 48 hours; the show is too small to rely on walk-by traffic. ROI depends on converting a handful of plant projects and distributor conversations, not on scanning hundreds of badges.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
FiltraTec Expo sits inside Poland’s manufacturing and water-infrastructure belt, where EU air-quality, industrial-emissions and wastewater rules drive filter replacement and upgrades. A focused Warsaw fair gives Polish plants and Central European distributors a shorter, cheaper alternative to FILTECH or IFAT while keeping technical content through the Filtration Tech Forum.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Energy-efficient filtration and lower pressure drop
Plant operators are specifying filter media and housings that cut pressure drop and compressed-air use, because energy costs now dominate the operating case for industrial air and liquid filtration.
What it changes: Suppliers can win upgrades by documenting energy savings, not just particle removal.
Water reuse and tighter discharge limits
Municipal and industrial water users in Poland face stricter discharge limits and rising water costs, pushing interest in membrane bioreactors, reverse osmosis and closed-loop treatment.
What it changes: Water filtration exhibitors meet utilities, food processors and chemical plants with live upgrade projects.
Digital monitoring and predictive filter service
Sensors, differential-pressure monitoring and software dashboards are turning filter changes from calendar tasks into condition-based service, with suppliers selling monitoring alongside media.
What it changes: Filtration brands can add recurring service revenue and differentiate on uptime.
Buyers tracking filtration technology in Central Europe typically combine FiltraTec Expo with the larger FILTECH and IFAT platforms and with the co-located ChemTEC Poland fair.
