What Filter Technology does

Filter Technology Engineered Systems (DBA: Filter Technology) is a privately held, US-based designer and manufacturer of Regenerative Precoat Filtration Systems and Separation Equipment, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Livonia, Michigan. The company builds engineered filtration systems for industrial fluid clarification, tramp oil separation, biodiesel polishing, and high-clarity water treatment, anchored by its flagship Regen Filter — a regenerative precoat media filter — and supported by proprietary Filter Flex Tubes, the FATBOY Tramp Oil Separator, and dedicated biodiesel and water filtration product lines. Installations are claimed across all continents, with named markets including North America, Europe, Korea, India, China, Australia, and Africa.

The company operates a full-service model combining custom engineering, equipment manufacturing, replacement parts, and a refurbishment service line that reconditions competitor installed bases (Coopermatics, PER, Chem-San) into modernized systems with Color Touch Screen controls and VFD-driven pumps. Revenue is generated through quote-based sales of capital equipment, recurring aftermarket parts (Flex Tubes, O-rings, gaskets), and professional services for refurbishment and ongoing technical support. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with engineering support integrated into the deal cycle, and pricing is custom-quoted under multi-year contracts with no public price list.

The company's stated differentiation rests on proprietary regenerative precoat technology, decades of accumulated filtration expertise, and a global reference base in aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing. No public revenue, headcount, funding, ownership, or third-party validation data is disclosed, and the company has no documented AI/ML capability, no patents or certifications on file, and no disclosed leadership team.
