What Solberg Manufacturing does

Solberg Manufacturing, Inc. is a privately held US-based industrial filtration and silencing company specializing in vacuum pump filters, inlet air filters, industrial silencers, oil mist separation, and crankcase ventilation products. The company serves a diverse B2B customer base across at least nine industrial verticals, including vacuum pump and blower operators, power generation facilities, oil-sealed vacuum pump operators, plastic extrusion, dry bulk trucking, lithium battery manufacturing, fuel cell, biogas, and marine applications, with a multilingual website supporting 11 languages and a global distribution footprint via e-commerce and direct sales.

The product portfolio is organized into modular complementary families: vacuum process filters (ST/CT, CSL, WL, HV, RST, XCSL/XPSL series), liquid/mist and vapor removal separators (STS, LRS, Knockout Tank, JRS, JST/JCT, LNT), inlet air filters with filter silencers (FS/PS, F/FT, SM SpinMeister®, 2G/QB), industrial silencers (EFS, CAM, RQS/RQL, SLCR/SLCRT, BBF), vacuum pump discharge and air/oil separation (HDL, DSV/DEE, HB, EE, EF), dry bulk truck filters (DBL), power generation products (ACV closed crankcase ventilation, powered crankcase ventilation systems), and replacement filter elements. Core proprietary technologies include the registered SpinMeister® centrifugal pre-cleaner, the patent-pending CAM Series reactive/absorptive silencing architecture, the patented Butterfly gasket seal on EFS Series filter elements, ATEX-certified XCSL/XPSL explosion-proof filters, and pleated coalescing media achieving 0.3 micron filtration at 99.97% efficiency. The company is ISO 9001 certified.

Solberg operates a sales-assisted hybrid go-to-market motion: a Shopify-based e-commerce storefront with transparent per-product pricing for standard items, complemented by a direct sales team and application engineering support for custom configurations and large industrial systems. Pricing is publicly disclosed and ranges from under $10 for small consumable accessories to over $8,000 for large industrial filter systems. Revenue streams include one-time industrial filtration product sales (the largest category), recurring replacement filter element sales (polyester, paper, HEPA/PTFE/ULPA, coalescing), accessories and components, and custom/specialty filtration solutions such as stainless-steel housings and customized suction scrubbers. No revenue, headcount, or funding data is disclosed in available sources.
