About FST
FST GmbH Filtrations-Separations-Technik is an independent manufacturer of components for the treatment of compressed air and technical gases. The portfolio includes compressed air dryers (refrigerated, adsorption and membrane dryers), compressed air filters, compressed air coolers, oil vapor activated carbon adsorbers, breathing air systems, nitrogen generators and condensate technology. Through the strategic partner W+Z Rohrsystem-Technik GmbH in Netphen-Deuz, the company's in-house manufacturing depth extends to the raw part level: metalworking, welded assemblies and vessel fabrication in steel and stainless steel, complemented by surface treatment such as sandblasting, wet painting and powder coating. In custom systems engineering, FST builds systems weighing up to 70 tonnes, with pipe diameters up to 4,000 mm and pressures up to 1,000 bar, including turnkey skid systems. Customers come from industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, automotive, shipping, rail transport and oil & gas. More than 40 employees at the Essen and Netphen sites cover development, sales, service and training.
