Dow Jones Description

We are a leading global high technology filtration company that develops, manufactures and markets specialized microporous membranes used in separation and filtration processes. We operate in two business segments: (i) the energy storage segment and (ii) the separations media segment. We manufacture our products at facilities in North America, Europe and Asia. In the energy storage segment, our membrane separators are a critical performance component in lithium batteries, which are used in consumer electronic applications, and lead-acid batteries, which are used in transportation and industrial applications. The energy storage segment has benefited from the overall increase in demand by consumers for mobile power which we believe will continue. Lithium batteries are the power source in a wide variety of electronics applications ranging from laptop computers and mobile phones to power tools.

As a result, we believe that membrane separator growth will exceed battery unit sales growth. ...
