developed filtration solutions for a number of applications across different categories . Our products go right across automotive , including cars , trucks , and motorcycles , ultimately helping vehicles breathe and perform better .
“ Within the last five years specifically , we ’ ve taken our experience of improving airflow to new markets , particularly in what we call our industrial marketplace . We ’ re now serving a variety of customers in this space , helping organizations to eliminate tens of thousands of air filters going into landfill – and we ’ re only just getting started !
“ To put it into perspective , there ’ s data out there that suggests 100 million air filters are discarded and end up in landfill every year , which gives you a sense of the challenge we ’ re working to overcome .”
As part of its diversification and expansion into new sectors , K & N is becoming a key player in the data center industry . “ It all began when a major data center client approached us with a challenge ,” Leigh narrates . “ They were looking for a dust filter that could breathe better , but was able to be washed and reused , avoiding the hassle of constantly discarding and renewing tons of filters , particularly in a sustainable-minded era . “ Our technology has a high airflow with reduced resistance , which meant we could solve two problems in one for this particular customer – delivering performance and sustainability . This process effectively kickstarted our venture into creating a line of industrial and data center air filters , and it turns out that the very same formula that made our engine filters successful also works in data centers .
