International. The German filtration company has acquired the American hydraulic filter manufacturer Main Filter.
Three years after acquiring the hydraulic filter business of Bosch Rexroth, Hengst Filtration continues to expand its operations in this area. The company is mainly dedicated to the distribution of filters of different types internationally.
"We strive to be the most competent partner for our customers and offer them the best possible service. Main Filter is an essential piece of the puzzle, especially in the North American market," says Christopher Heine, CEO of Hengst Filtration.
Main Filter has been a respected manufacturer of hydraulic filters for over 35 years and is headquartered in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, and Lincolnton, North Carolina, USA.
Main Filter has a wide range of products and is crucial to Hengst's ability to supply local customers in North America through local production, ensuring rapid availability of its products.
"We have two large facilities and, above all, many highly motivated colleagues who will join our hydraulics team," enthuses Malte Röcke, Managing Director Global Hydraulics at Hengst. The Managing Director of Hengst's Hydraulic Filter Business in Ketsch, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is integrating Main Filter into the Hengst world together with Ulrich Eich, Group Vice President Filtration for Industry and Environment.
"This is beneficial to the industry and in particular we are delighted to have partnered with Hengst, who, as a filtration specialist, will continue to provide excellent service and quality products to our customers. I am confident that Hengst's culture and leadership, aligned with our values and long-term aspirations, will be a great home for all of our employees," says Bill Horne, CEO of Main Filter.
