Essentra rebrand for Filtrona and Payne

In a much-trailed move, Filtrona Filter Products yesterday took on its new name, Essentra Filter Products (EFP).

The name change realigns the company with its parent, which in June changed its name from Filtrona PLC to Essentra PLC.

In a press note announcing the name change, EFP, which has its headquarters in Singapore, described itself as the world’s leading independent provider of special filters and scientific services to the tobacco industry.

At the same time, Essentra Packaging has become the new name for two Essentra PLC packaging companies: Payne and Contego Healthcare.

All Essentra PLC companies have now taken on the Essentra name.
