The company fabricates custom OEM filter elements such as bag, cartridge, dust, polymer melt, extruder screen, spin pack, and sand control filters, and offers value-added conversion services (slitting, shearing, laser cutting, welding, forming, calendering, annealing, framing) along with Accupore photometric inspection services.

Product overview

Dorstener Wire Tech is a manufacturer of industrial wire mesh, wire cloth, and metallic filtration products. The product portfolio centers on Woven Wire Cloth (available in plain, twilled, Dutch, and reverse Dutch weaves from 2 micron to 4000 micron), Welded Wire Mesh (from .250 inches to .020 inches), and Sintered Wire Cloth under the SinterPore brand (diffusion-bonded products up to 48 x 60 inches). Complementary filtration products include Industrial Filters, Polymer Filters, Sand Control Filters, Extruder Screens, and Micro Mesh filters. The company also offers a MeshArt architectural sub-brand for design applications.
