What IOW Group does

IOW Group Limited is a privately held UK-based original equipment manufacturer specializing in industrial lubrication oil filtration and pumping equipment. The company designs and manufactures pressure-driven centrifugal oil separators (MP090, MP200, MP600) built around patent-protected bowl disc technology, alongside positive displacement triple screw pumps in two variants — Magnaline (magnetically sealed, leak-free) and Mechline (mechanically sealed) — plus the CentriClean Separator Control Unit with Modbus/Bluetooth remote monitoring, the eQlyps total filtration system, Mobi portable filtration, and Pressurized Drain Systems. Products are engineered to retrofit into existing pipework and are manufactured at the company's Isle of Wight facility to ISO 9001, with in-house quality control and R&D teams.

The company sells to enterprise industrial customers across Marine, Power Generation, Mining, Transport, Construction/Agriculture, and Military verticals, with documented installations on engine platforms including STX MAN, YANMAR, Hyundai, and ALCO. Commercial outcomes cited include doubled oil change intervals, 30% extended maintenance intervals, 300% longer primary filter life, and per-engine savings of roughly $17,000 over 7,000 run-hours. The business model is quote-based hardware sales with 30-day payment terms, distributed via direct enterprise sales and a structured Certified Partner Program, with additional demand generation through industry exhibitions such as the Reliable Plant Conference.

No external funding, M&A activity, or leadership changes are disclosed. The company reports no revenue figures and the management team is not publicly listed, indicating a tightly held, founder-led operating profile. Geographic reach is claimed globally, with named activity in North America (Reliable Plant Conference) and South America (Hyundai power plant case study), though the manufacturing footprint is concentrated in the UK.

Products and services

• MP Centrifugal Oil Separators Pressure-driven centrifugal oil separators with patent-protected bowl disc technology, stated to be 150% more efficient than competing centrifugal separators and designed to retrofit to existing pipework. Available in MP090, MP200, and MP600 variants and used for industrial lubrication oil filtration across marine, power generation, mining, transport, construction, agriculture, and military applications.
• Magnaline Pumps Magnetically sealed positive displacement triple screw pumps offering leak-free operation with no mechanical seal between pump and motor, eliminating consumable spares and reducing maintenance. Used for industrial lubrication oil pumping applications where leak-free operation and low maintenance are priorities.
• Mechline Pumps Mechanically sealed positive displacement triple screw pumps designed as like-for-like replacements for existing installations and available in various flow volume ranges for industrial lubrication applications.
• eQlyps Total Oil Filtration System Compact, simple total oil filtration system providing control over oil filtration in a single integrated unit for industrial lubrication applications.
• Mobi Mobile Filtration Mobile filtration solution component within the IOW Group product range for portable or mobile oil filtration use cases.
• Pressurized Drain Systems Drain systems designed for managing pressurized fluid in industrial lubrication applications.

• CJC (CC Jensen): Danish manufacturer specialising in offline oil filtration systems for industrial machinery, marine engines, and power generation. Highly comparable to IOW Group's MP centrifuge business, with similar target customers, identical lubrication oil filtration value proposition, and overlapping vertical coverage.
• Schroeder Industries: Specialist in hydraulic and lubrication filtration, including in-line filters, offline filtration units, and condition monitoring for industrial and mobile equipment. Overlaps directly with IOW Group's filtration and CentriClean monitoring offerings in similar customer verticals.
• Des-Case: US-based specialist in offline oil filtration and contamination control for industrial machinery. Highly comparable niche focus to IOW Group's MP centrifugal separator range, with similar target customer base in power generation and heavy industry.
• HYDAC: Global manufacturer of fluid power components, hydraulic filters, condition monitoring systems, and lubrication filtration. Directly overlaps with IOW Group across pumps, filtration, and oil analysis/CentriClean-style monitoring offerings for industrial and mobile equipment customers.

Broad incumbents

• Mahle Industrial Filtration: Industrial filtration division of Mahle Group producing oil filtration, coolant filtration, and fluid management systems for engines, compressors, and process industries. Directly competes with IOW Group in lubrication oil filtration for power generation and heavy industrial applications.
• Donaldson Company: Global filtration manufacturer serving industrial, marine, and heavy equipment customers with liquid and air filtration products. Overlaps with IOW Group's lubrication oil filtration business in similar end-markets, though with a much broader product portfolio and global distribution.
• Bosch Rexroth: Major manufacturer of fluid power systems including hydraulic pumps, motors, and filtration accessories. Comparable to IOW Group's triple screw pump product lines (Mechline, Magnaline) for industrial and mobile equipment applications, though operating at significantly larger scale.
• Pall Corporation: Filtration, separation and purification specialist serving industrial, marine, and oil & gas markets. Offers centrifugal and filter-based lubrication oil cleaning solutions that overlap with IOW Group's MP centrifuge range, but as part of a much broader filtration portfolio.
• Alfa Laval: Large global supplier of separation, heat transfer, and fluid handling equipment, including centrifugal separators used in marine and power generation. Competes with IOW Group in industrial centrifuge markets but operates at far broader scale across multiple equipment categories.
