What Mott does

Mott Corporation is a Farmington, Connecticut-based designer and manufacturer of custom porous metal filtration and flow control products serving mission-critical applications across aerospace and defense, semiconductors, clean energy, chemical processing, and medical devices. The company's technology platform is built on proprietary sintered porous metal manufacturing combined with controlled porosity additive manufacturing (LPBF / 3D printing), enabling engineered pore structures for ultra-high purity gas filtration (GasShield product line), spacecraft propulsion filtration, hydrogen electrolyzer porous transport layers, fuel cell gas diffusion layers, water reclamation systems (SRDU), and a broad portfolio of porous metal components (cups, discs, tubes, sheets, cartridges, spargers, flame arrestors). Differentiation rests on decades of accumulated materials science, application engineering, and the ability to co-develop customer-specific solutions through its Customer Innovation Center.

The business operates on a quote-based pricing model for engineered, custom-built hardware, with Net-30 standard payment terms and a 12-month warranty. Revenue is generated primarily through direct enterprise field sales supported by a global distributor network, with named customers spanning NASA, Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Navy, Samsung, BASF, GE, Thermo Fisher, Baxter, GSK, PepsiCo, and Procter & Gamble. The product portfolio is highly diversified across more than 50 SKUs organized into filters, 3D-printed components, flow restrictors, spargers, thermal management hardware, and water treatment systems. In March 2023, Mott acquired Digested Organics to expand into water reclamation, and in September 2024, the company was acquired by IDEX Corporation (NYSE:IEX) for approximately $1 billion and integrated into IDEX's Health & Science Technologies segment. As a wholly-owned subsidiary, Mott no longer files standalone financials, but its capabilities continue to anchor IDEX's strategy in high-purity filtration, space propulsion, and clean energy components. The company employs 501-1,000 people and serves customers in nearly 100 countries.
