Asco Filtri

What Asco Filtri does

Asco Filtri S.p.A. is a privately held Italian manufacturer of engineered industrial filtration equipment, founded in 2002 in Milan and headquartered in Binasco, within the Milan metropolitan area. The company designs, produces, and services filtration products — including coalescer filters (LL and LG series), self-cleaning filters (RVT and RVZ series), cartridge and basket filter housings, dry gas filters, membrane cartridges (PES, PTFE, PP), pleated, depth, metallic, and string-wound cartridges, and filter bags — built to meet ASME, EN, PED, CE Mark, and U Stamp standards for severe industrial service. It claims up to 99.9% filtration efficiency in catalyst-recovery applications and serves six end markets: Oil & Gas Petrochemical, Fine Chemical, Water Treatment, Clean Energy, Food & Beverage, and Pharmaceutical & Healthcare.

The company sells primarily through a direct enterprise field-sales motion via wholly owned sales offices in Italy, France, India, the UAE, and Mexico, addressing customer pain points around equipment protection, product purity, regulatory compliance, and catalyst/process recovery. Revenue is generated from three streams: one-time equipment sales of custom filtration systems, recurring sales of replacement cartridges and consumables, and engineering/technical services — with all pricing conducted on a quote basis rather than through published rates. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range and stated share capital is €2,500,000; revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Since 2013, Asco has operated as a subsidiary of Mott Corporation, and in 2024 it became part of IDEX Corporation following IDEX's acquisition of Mott. The firm continues to expand internationally (UAE in 2022, India in 2023 with a clean-energy value proposition) and in 2025 unveiled a fully automated filter element production facility in Italy, indicating ongoing capacity investment under IDEX ownership.
