Acme Mills Announces Partnership with Ahlstrom for the Optipad™

In a strategic move to enhance the foodservice industry, Acme Mills LLC, a significant player in North America known for manufacturing and converting high-performance textiles, has been appointed the U.S. distributor for Ahlstrom's revolutionary new product, Optipad™. This innovative pre-impregnated filter pad is designed specifically to simplify the filtration of frying oils, while also extending their usability significantly—potentially by as much as 50%.

Introducing Optipad™

Optipad™ is not just any filter pad; it is engineered with advanced fiber-based materials that effectively remove impurities from the cooking oil, which subsequently improves oil quality. This enhancement leads to better-tasting food and ultimately boosts the overall efficiency of foodservice operations. Furthermore, Optipad™ maintains lower Total Polar Materials (TPM) levels longer than traditional methods, ensuring that the frying oil remains clean and usable for extended periods.

Impact on the Foodservice Industry

Jim Colman, the CEO of Acme Mills, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration with Ahlstrom, stating, "This product perfectly aligns with our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and delivering smarter filtration solutions to our customers." The partnership aims to provide food service businesses with the tools they need to enhance operational efficiency while minimizing waste and environmental impact.

The benefits of using Optipad™ are clear: by contributing to an extended oil life, it not only reduces oil consumption but also aids restaurants and food manufacturers in managing their operational costs more effectively. For businesses operating in today's economic climate, such efficiencies can make a substantial difference in terms of profitability.

Acme Mills' Commitment to Tailored Solutions

This broad spectrum of capabilities allows the company to offer specialized textile and filtration solutions tailored to the unique challenges faced by various businesses.
