About FUJI FILTER
FUJI FILTER Industrial Co., Ltd. was founded in 1966 and develops, designs, manufactures and distributes high-precision industrial filters as well as complete filter systems as a one-stop provider. Its core competence is the production and further processing of porous metal bodies and filter media: sintered stainless steel and alloy woven wire cloth (Fuji Plate), phenolic-resin-impregnated special cellulose (Fuji Bond Filter), metal fiber fleece as well as porous bodies made of pure titanium, magnesium, stainless steel and ceramics. At the Tochigi plant, Factory 1 manufactures custom small series from a few millimeters to several meters, Factory 2 produces automotive filters in series production with tens of thousands of pieces per day, and Factory 3 handles heat treatment/sintering, filter regeneration and assembly of large filter systems. Prototyping, testing and design development take place in the engineering building. The company supplies industries ranging from oil & gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and aerospace to semiconductors and water treatment, and is a certified supplier for special elements for US military helicopters.
