At Engineered Filtration Systems (EFS), we believe in pushing the industry forward — not just through products, but through collaboration, education, and advocacy. That’s why we are proud to be one of the Platinum sponsors of NAFA (the National Air Filtration Association). National Air Filtration Association
We’re especially excited about the upcoming NAFA Annual Convention (to be held in Newport, RI from October 21-23, 2025), where we’ll have the opportunity to engage with facility engineers, filter manufacturers, specification professionals, and other stakeholders in person.
Why NAFA Matters — And Why We Support It
NAFA is more than an association — it’s a central convener for technical standards, best practices, and education in the air filtration field. On their website, NAFA emphasizes several key pillars of their mission:
- Certification & Professional Development: NAFA offers certification programs such as Certified Air Filter Specialist and Certified Technician I / II to help practitioners validate and expand their expertise. National Air Filtration Association
- Best Practices & Guidelines: They publish “Best Practice Guidelines” and make available a Knowledge Center with technical articles, publications, and “Basics of Air Filtration” resources. National Air Filtration Association
- Recognition & Awards: NAFA runs programs like the Clean Air Awards to highlight excellence and innovation in filtration and indoor air quality. National Air Filtration Association
- Advocacy & Awareness: One of their key slogans is “Clean Air Matters,” and they encourage initiatives such as “clean air audits” for buildings, paralleling efforts like LEED or Fitwel to build healthier, more productive indoor environments. National Air Filtration Association
- Community & Networking: Their event calendar, webinars, and annual convention provide vital touchpoints for professionals to exchange ideas, hear the latest research, and build solutions together. National Air Filtration Association
Because of this, NAFA helps raise the overall bar for air filtration quality and indoor environment standards. By sponsoring them, EFS aligns itself with that mission — ensuring our clients and the industry benefit from strong technical leadership, educated professionals, and constant innovation.
What EFS Brings to the Table
At EFS, we don’t see filters as commodities — we see them as engineered systems that directly affect performance, reliability, safety, and cost of operation. Here’s how we make a difference:
- Wide Product Range — From V-bank filters and reverse rigid pocket filters to HEPA and activated carbon solutions, we serve many applications: power generation, clean rooms, pharmaceuticals, HVAC in large buildings, industrial plants, and more.
- Custom & Turnkey Solutions — We offer custom-cut media, special configurations, and tailored designs to meet exact system requirements.
- Technical Support & Application Expertise — Because EFS is grounded in filtration engineering, our team can help customers select, test, validate, and maintain optimal filtration solutions.
- Quality & Performance Focus — With high standards in materials, testing, and manufacturing, we aim to deliver filters that last longer, perform better, and reduce total cost of operation.
What to Expect at the Newport Convention
This year’s NAFA Annual Convention in Newport, RI promises to be a hub of innovation and knowledge exchange. At the event, we plan to meet with clients, specifiers, and partners to understand evolving needs and challenges. If you plan to attend, we would love for you to stop by, say hello, and see firsthand how EFS filtration solutions might be the right fit for your projects.
