FAA Filters is a leading manufacturer of filtration systems for air, gas, and liquids. A broad range of industries depend on our filters and filtration systems to protect both equipment and processes.

Our sales and manufacturing facility is located in Newark, New York, which is in the Finger Lakes Region.

FAA Filters (formerly North American Filter Corporation) was founded in 1984 and was incorporated in the state of New York. The company’s beginning was based on the principle of superior filtration design with the introduction of several patented filter products offering our customers significant filtration advantages. FAA Filters has continued its strong tradition of innovation with its continuing aggressive research and development activity and has several additional patents in place.

From 1989 to 2000 FAA Filters was owned by BTR, a large conglomerate headquartered in the UK. This period saw rapid growth and extensive capital investment both in physical facilities and in skilled engineering talent. Also, the purchase and subsequent integration to The Refilco^® Corporation added significantly to FAA Filters’ product offerings. In 1991 FAA Filters started their Microfiltration Production with the addition of a Class 10,000 cleanroom. In 1995, FAA Filters earned its ISO 9001 certification. In 2002, it earned its ISO 9001:2000 Certification.

In March of 2000, FAA Filters was purchased by the existing senior management and remains an aggressive innovator and quality provider of a broad range of industrial filtration products.

In October of 2021, FAA Filters and all assets were acquired by FAUDI Aviation America Holdings, Inc. The new management team brings years of filtration manufacturing experience including over 30 years of experience in managing R&D, manufacturing, operational and organization change, quality and safety and additional experiences in lean manufacturing.
