What filter solutions does

Filter Solutions Inc is a privately held Canadian industrial filtration equipment manufacturer founded in 1998 and headquartered in Burlington, Ontario. The company designs and fabricates custom engineered filtration and separation equipment — including bag housings, cartridge housings, strainers, magnetic separators, wedge wire products, and skid-mounted packaged systems — for industrial customers across chemical, petroleum, pulp & paper, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, paint/plastic/coating, and environmental end-markets.

The company's technical foundation is ASME-, TSSA-, and National Board-certified pressure-vessel fabrication, supported by a 30,000+ square-foot manufacturing facility and an installed base claimed to exceed 10,000 units worldwide, with 100+ years of combined employee experience in filtration and pressure equipment engineering. Product configurations range from standard catalog-style housings to fully engineered skid systems integrating multiple separation stages and instrumentation.

The business model is project-based custom manufacturing: equipment is engineered to specification and sold via quotation rather than through fixed catalog pricing, with revenue tied to industrial capex and maintenance cycles across the served verticals. No pricing structure, average order value, lead time, or sales channel mix is publicly disclosed.
