What American Industrial Products does

American Industrial Products LLC (AIP) is a US-based industrial filtration company founded in 2004 that specializes in polymer melt filtration for plastics processing. Its core offering includes extruder screen packs, laser filters, and related filtration consumables, complemented by spare parts and capital equipment sourced through exclusive alliances with European manufacturing partners. The company serves four end markets: fiber and synthetic fibers, automotive, plastics manufacturing, and plastics recycling, and operates regional sales offices in Dalton, Georgia and Houston, Texas.

AIP's product portfolio is built around a proprietary bonding process for screen pack construction and is extended through exclusive distribution agreements with a strategic European partner carrying more than 50 years of filtration experience, Petrelli Heating Technologies (cleaning ovens and related capital equipment), and Baracco S.r.l. The company positions itself as an engineering-consultative supplier rather than a pure catalog distributor, pairing product sales with technical guidance for production-line filtration challenges.

The business model is sales-led and direct: AIP operates primarily through phone and email outreach with a stated two-day delivery commitment on standard products, and supplements this with active trade show participation across the Americas and globally, including K 2025 in Düsseldorf and Plastics Recycling World Expo events in North America. As a privately held LLC with no publicly disclosed financials, revenue figures, headcount, or ownership structure are not available.
