GE's New SimPleat* Pleated Filter Elements for Industrial Air Filtration Offer Superior Performance, Better Economics than Traditional Technology

KANSAS CITY, MO.-GE (NYSE: GE) today introduced SimPleat* pleated filter elements for industrial air filtration. Building on the proven high performance of GE's PulsePleat* filters, the new coreless SimPleat filters now provide an option for customers to upgrade more cost-effectively from traditional bag-and-cage technology.
