Zinga Industries

What Zinga Industries does

Zinga Industries, Inc. is a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of hydraulic oil filtration components, founded in 1976 and operating from a single 110,000-square-foot vertically integrated facility in Reedsburg. The company's product portfolio spans spin-on filter elements and heads, in-line and manifold pressure filters (up to 6,000 PSI), tank-top return filters with flow rates to 300 GPM, reservoir-mounted strainers and diffusers, breather and desiccant products, complementary valves, and adapters/clamps. Core technology centers on proprietary Z-Glass multi-layered synthetic media, AquaZorb water-absorbing cellulose media, and patented bowl hold-down designs (US Patent #5389246), with manufacturing capabilities covering aluminum die-casting, element pleating, machining, fabrication, and assembly in-house. The company sells exclusively through B2B channels — direct to OEMs requiring custom engineering and private-label options, and via hydraulic-equipment distributors reselling to end users in construction, agriculture, material handling, mining, marine, utilities, forestry, and lawn-and-garden markets. Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed; since March 2015 Zinga has operated as a subsidiary of Filtration Group Corporation, leveraging parent scale while preserving Wisconsin-based customer service.
