About Feltest Equipment BV
History of Feltest
Feltest Equipment BV were founded in 1992. A few years before a felt designer, Dutchman Niek Lensvelt, wanted to know how the compaction of press felts changed over time so that he could improve the performance of his felts. As he could not find an appropriate instrument with the desired accuracy and repeatability, he designed an instrument himself. The result of his efforts is the original caliper gauge, nowadays called the Feltest caliper gauge “Classic” as shown here.
In the year 2001 an exclusive supply contract ended and on next years SPCI exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden, Feltest Equipment BV presented themselves to the worldwide paper industry. Since then things accelerated with nearly every year new high quality products that are added to the portfolio.
