    Unifrax Changes Name to Alkegen

    New name better reflects scope of company post Lydall acquisition

    Karen McIntyre, editor01.24.22
    Unifrax, a leading manufacturer of high performance specialty materials used in advanced applications, and the parent company of nonwovens producer Lydall, has changed its name to Alkegen. The name change is reportedly better reflective of the new company created following the acquisition of Lydall late last year. Additionally, the corporate headquarters of Alkegen will move to Dallas, TX. Alkegen brings together two of the world’s leading specialty materials platforms and represents a new chapter for a unified, innovation-driven company.

    Alkegen is well positioned to be the specialty materials leader serving mission-critical systems that the world is focused on for the future, including battery technologies, electric vehicles, filtration media, and specialty insulation materials that enable customers to reduce fossil fuel consumption, save energy, and live greener.

    John Dandolph, president and CEO explains, “Our new name helps define this global platform with differentiated, sustainability-focused advanced materials. Customers will come to know Alkegen as a brand that helps the planet breathe easier, live greener, and go further than ever before. Alkegen is an exceptional specialty materials platform that we believe is unrivaled in the world today.”

    The name Alkegen is a modern adaptation of two words that are central to the company’s identity and mission. “Alke” is derived from the word “Alchemy,” which evokes transformational innovation and breakthroughs in what is possible. “Gen” is a shortened form of “Next Generation” and speaks to Alkegen’s focus on human health and a sustainable future. The green Alkegen “arc” in the logo represents collaboration, connectivity, and a horizon signifying the global nature of the company and its constant innovation and forward progress.

    “Our new name is just the start of our journey as a brand,” addsDandolph. “Our vision is to be the world’s leading innovative specialty materials platform dedicated to sustainability and human health while serving industries tackling some of the critical problems our society faces today.”

    Alkegen’s Dallas headquarters will serve as the headquarters for the company’s filtration and battery businesses. Unifrax’s current headquarters in Tonawanda, New York, will continue to serve as the headquarters for the company’s thermal insulation and emission control
