Unifrax plans to move its corporate headquarters from the Town of Tonawanda to Dallas Texas in 2022. At the same time that it said it was changing its name to Alkegen. The change in name and headquarters location stems from Unifrax's acquisition of Lydall, a maker of specialty filtration materials with a worldwide presence. The $1.3 billion deal was completed last October, with John Dandolph, Unifrax's president and CEO, leading the combined company in those same roles. Alkegen will locate the headquarters for its filtration and battery business in Dallas, along with its corporate headquarters. Alkegen has more than 9,000 employees at over 60 manufacturing facilities around the world. Clearlake Capital Group, a California-based investment group, acquired Unifrax in 2018.
