What Amazon Filters does

Amazon Filters Limited is a privately held, family-owned UK manufacturer of industrial process filtration equipment, founded in 1985 by Mike Pizzey and headquartered in Camberley, Surrey. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies liquid and gas filtration systems — including meltblown depth filters, pleated depth filters, membrane filters, bag filters, capsule filters, activated carbon cartridges (SupaCarb), coalescers, stainless steel filters, and the SupaClean sealed change-out system — alongside a full range of standard and bespoke filter housings (plastic, single/multi-cartridge, sanitary, bag, corrosion-resistant, and custom engineered units). Production is concentrated in two facilities: the UK headquarters and a 5,000+ m² manufacturing site in Warsaw, Poland, supported by a sales subsidiary in Germany; annual output exceeds 3 million meltblown filters, 750,000 pleated filters, and 5,000 filter housings, with 220+ filtration specialists employed globally.

The company sells primarily direct to enterprise end-users and OEMs in five regulated verticals — water treatment (municipal, desalination, potable supply), pharmaceuticals and healthcare, oil and gas, food and beverage, and chemicals and coatings — and supplements this with a retrofit/replacement channel that cross-compatibles with leading filter brands and a distributor network spanning approximately 35 countries across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Australasia, the Middle East, and Africa. Its go-to-market combines sales engineering, industry-specific microsites, trade shows (including DWQ 2026 for the UK AMP8 water cycle), and technical content marketing targeted at process engineers, procurement, and quality managers. Pricing is quote-based; for bespoke orders above £50,000, staged payment terms apply (30/50/20), and the company advertises a guaranteed minimum 10% saving on annual filtration costs.

Amazon Filters' competitive position rests on a dense regulatory and certification stack (DWI Regulation 31, FDA/USP Class VI, ATEX, PED 2014/68/EU Module H, ISO 9001/14001/45001, AQAP 2110, Halal, Kosher, Polish PZH), proprietary product platforms (SupaSpun II, SupaClean, ClearView, renewable-polypropylene meltblown), and full production-history traceability required by regulated buyers. Ownership remains with the Pizzey family (Neil Pizzey as Managing Director, Karl Pizzey as Operations Director) alongside long-tenured sales leadership (Jeff Kirby, since 1987), and the company took its first disclosed external institutional capital from Business Growth Fund in 2018.
