Our Team

The filtration specialists behind FLTR, part of the Purple Engineering group.

The people behind FLTR

FLTR is the industrial filtration brand of Purple Engineering, and the people behind it are Purple's engineers, estimators and projects, logistics and warehouse team. When you send FLTR a part number, a specification or a filtration problem to solve, it lands with people who understand process equipment and how it performs in service.

Between them, the team brings experience across civil, mechanical and process engineering, oil and gas, mining, chemical processing, manufacturing and supply chain. That background helps us match the right filter element, housing or vessel to your application, quote it properly and get it to site when you need it.
