A manufacturer of hydraulic filters for more than 35 years, Main Filter is based in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canada, and Lincolnton, North Carolina, USA. Main Filter has a wide range of products and will be key to Hengst’s ability to supply local customers in North America through local production.
"We are working hard to be the most competent partner for our customers and to provide them with the best possible service. Main Filter is a crucial piece of the puzzle, especially in the North American market," said Christopher Heine, CEO of Hengst Filtration.
"We are getting two great plants and, above all, many highly motivated colleagues to join our hydraulics team," said Malte Röcke, managing director of Hengst’s hydraulic filter business in Ketsch, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Röcke is now integrating Main Filter into Hengst together with Ulrich Eich, Group Vice President Filtration for Industry and Environment.
"This is a win-win for the industry and in particular, we are delighted to have partnered with Hengst, who will, as a filtration specialist, continue to provide great service and quality products for our clients. I’m confident that the culture and leadership of Hengst, aligned with our values and long term aspirations, will be a great home to all of our employees," said Bill Horne, CEO of Main Filter.
