Strassburger Filter is a medium-sized company in Westhofen in the Rhine-Hesse region . With its tailor-made filtration solutions, the company has a dominant position worldwide and is considered a hidden champion .
history
The company was founded in 1919 by Herrmann Strassburger in Ingelheim to manufacture devices for the filtration of wine. The filter devices, which were initially made of wood, were quickly used in the fruit juice and vinegar industries. The product range initially comprised the manufacture of wood, mass and precoat filters in sizes up to a man (giant filters ). Even then, the company recorded considerable export shares, especially of giant filters to the United States .
During the Second World War , the company relocated its production facility to Hungen in Upper Hesse. After the war, however, this location proved to be unfavorable due to the industry, so the company moved to Westhofen near Worms in 1953 .
present
Thanks to numerous patents in the field of filtration technology, the Strassburger Filter company was able to win customers in the beverage, food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries as well as in the field of wastewater management.
In contrast to the early years, only stainless steel , glass and plastics have recently been used to manufacture the devices. The palette ranges from filtration systems for the chemical to pharmaceutical industry and automatically operating chamber filter presses for the filtration of wines. In medical technology, a filtration system was fractionation of blood plasma developed and patented.
