Celebrating 175 Years of Ahlstrom

Oct 09, 2026

For 175  years, Ahlstrom has been built to last because it has been built to change.

From our roots in forests, shipbuilding, glass fiber and paper making to the material science company we are today, our story is one of transformation, innovation and long-term thinking. At every pivotal moment, people across Ahlstrom have made choices that helped shape what came next.

Today, we continue that journey by focusing our technology, expertise and renewable fiber-based solutions on some of the world’s biggest challenges from clean air and clean water to sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic and applications that support healthcare.

As we celebrate our 175-year anniversary, we are proud to share our documentary-style video reflecting our history, our people and the future we are building together.
