International. The German filtration specialist company has acquired the North American hydraulic filter manufacturer Main Filter.

Three years after acquiring the hydraulic filter business from Bosch Rexroth, Hengst Filtration continues to expand its operations in this area. The company is primarily dedicated to the international distribution of various types of filters.

"We strive to be the most competent partner for our customers and to offer them the best possible service. Main Filter is a crucial 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 based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, and Lincolnton, North Carolina, USA.

Main Filter has a wide range of products and is crucial for Hengst's ability to supply local customers in North America through local production, ensuring rapid availability of its products.

"We have two great facilities and, above all, many highly motivated colleagues who will join our hydraulics team," enthusiastically comments Malte Röcke, Managing Director of 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, Vice President of the Filtration Group for Industry and Environment.

"This is beneficial for 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 long-term values and aspirations, will be a great home for all our employees," says Bill Horne, CEO of Main Filter.
