Filtration Technology Corporation expands Houston manufacturing facility

Filtration Technology Corporation (FTC) has expanded its manufacturing headquarters in Houston, Texas, USA to meet growing demand for its filtration and separation solutions.

The expansion has increased manufacturing and operations space by 55,000 sq ft, bringing the total footprint to 130,000 sq ft. 

“This expansion gives us the capacity and flexibility to continue delivering high-quality solutions to our customers while preparing for sustained growth," said Tyler Johnson, president and CEO of FTC. “The added space allows us to stay ahead of market demand and uphold our commitment to innovation and excellence in serving the industrial fluid processing industry."

In addition to expanding the building footprint, FTC has made a significant investment in production equipment, including upgrades to the latest manufacturing equipment technologies as well as adding secondary production equipment to ensure uninterrupted operations, allowing FTC to provide faster service and delivery.

By investing in duplicate and triplicate equipment, such as automated seaming, cutting, capping and pleating machines, storage technologies, and additional generator capacity, the new facility minimizes the risk of downtime and ensures steady production for FTC customers. Additionally, an expanded R&D center now includes a state-of-the-art scanning electron microscope to support the development of next-generation filtration solutions.

To support this growth and maintain high standards, FTC has added key personnel to its team, including a new director of operations and a new quality control manager.

"These upgrades aren't just about expanding capacity," said Chris Wallace, senior corporate vice president of FTC. "Our investments in manufacturing capabilities, R&D center and experienced team members reinforce the strong foundational trust our customers place in us by ensuring we can deliver the reliable, advanced solutions they need."
