History and Values

Building on Three Decades of Materials Innovation

From ceramic expertise to integrated separation and emissions solutions

Founded on Ceramic Excellence, Driven by Customer Success

ALSYS began in 1990 with a single focus: developing ceramic materials capable of withstanding the most demanding industrial conditions.

That foundation in materials science evolved into expertise across membrane filtration, catalyst technologies, and complete project delivery. Today, ALSYS combines proven ceramic and polymeric membranes, environmental catalysts, and comprehensive engineering services to solve separation and emissions challenges across pharmaceutical, chemical, oil and gas, food processing, and industrial manufacturing sectors worldwide.

Our growth reflects a consistent commitment to technical excellence, customer partnership, and responsible innovation. Each acquisition, from Orelis Environnement in 2010 and EnerCat in 2013 to CeraMem in 2017 and ClearBakk in 2019, brought complementary technologies and market expertise that strengthened our ability to deliver integrated solutions to address increasingly complex industrial requirements.

From laboratory feasibility testing to commissioning support and lifecycle optimization, ALSYS provides the materials expertise, application knowledge, and project execution capabilities that help operators achieve performance targets while managing regulatory compliance and operational risk.
