FRIEDRICHS FILTERSYSTEME
FRIEDRICHS FILTERSYSTEME GMBH has been an all-round supplier in the field of industrial filtration for almost 50 years.
It was founded in 1975 in Cologne as a family business by Eng. Dieter Friedrichs, thanks to the design of a new patented self-cleaning wire mesh, optimesh®.
After only two years of activity, the company, that required a larger production site, moved to Wassenberg, where it began to design also patented wedge wire supports and slot filter tubes (optigap® and precislot®), mainly used in the chemical industry.
Since the 1980s, FRIEDRICHS FILTERSYSTEME further expanded its range by introducing the first duplex fluidtech® filters, deltaP® differential pressure indicators and products dedicated to oil mist separation for turbochargers and expanders.
In recent years it has also specialized in consulting and designing customized filter solutions for specific applications for the industrial, marine, energy and mining sectors.

Fluent Thinking
Filters from FRIEDRICHS FILTERSYSTEME can be found deep under the earth's surface in mines and below sea level or high up in space and, of course, everywhere in between. This means that the German company is constantly learning about new challenges and using its experience and know how to develop professional solutions. It is not only the media in its filter systems that are in flux, but also the continuous consultancy cycle from analysis - design - testing - production to service, in line with the guiding principle of 'Fluent Thinking'.
‘Fluent Thinking’ means getting to the bottom of things, without forgetting to change perspective to think outside the box. This is what the FRIEDRICHS FILTERSYSTEME logo stands for, simple and clear!
‘Fluent Thinking’ means:
- an open eye for what is new
- the awareness of how to develop new skills from existing ones
- the ability to identify trends and creatively translate them into ideas and ultimately into performance
- the patience and foresight to balance future opportunities and environmental protection against short-term profit maximisation
- the commitment to follow through on this ability
- the speed and agility of implementation
- the ability to judge and to abandon less productive paths
- and finally, despite all the goal-orientation, the luck of the brave
FRIEDRICHS FILTERSYSTEME history is one of constant renewal, which is not only due to individual, prominent personalities, but also to the commitment of all employees, from management to trainees.
