Trusted by Industry Leaders
At Filtration Group SAS – Global Filter, we are proud to partner with renowned industrial leaders around the world.
These strong, long-standing collaborations reflect the trust placed in our expertise and the proven quality of our filtration solutions.
In an industry where food safety is non-negotiable, our clients face major challenges: microbial contamination, strict regulations, traceability demands, and growing consumer expectations. Every fluid, water, ingredients, liquid foods, must be precisely filtered to prevent recalls, ensure taste consistency, and protect brand reputation.
What we deliver:
- FDA-certified filters, compliant with EC 1935/2004
- 20% to 35% reduction in line downtime thanks to greater filter reliability
- Application specific solutions for oils, syrups, flavors, beer, wine, and more
Customer impact:
Guaranteed compliance, fewer non-conformities, longer equipment lifespan, improved product safety, and better shelf-life performance.
Filtering complex fluids without compromising on safety.
In the chemical industry, our clients handle corrosive, toxic, or unstable fluids and must ensure fine, continuous filtration, without clogging or system failure. A single error can result in major costs, or even human and environmental risks.
Our added value:
- Filters compatible with acids, solvents, bases, and polymers
- Range of industrial and sanitary-grade filter housings
- High-temperature / high-pressure systems (up to 150°C and 16 bar)
- Stainless steel housings, ATEX options, REACH & RoHS compliant
- Up to +40% longer filter life and -30% maintenance reduction observed
Typical applications in the chemical industry:
Strong acids (sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid), organic solvents (acetone, toluene, ethanol), bases and alkalis (sodium hydroxide, ammonia), polymers and resins (polystyrene, polyethylene), corrosive and toxic substances, fine chemical suspensions…
Customer impact:
Increased safety, reduced downtime and maintenance, enhanced productivity, stronger compliance with internal and external standards, and better operator protection.
Zero defects, zero contamination: the ultimate standard.
In the pharmaceutical industry, filtration is a critical step in production. Product performance, process consistency, and full traceability are essential. Our clients must meet the most stringent global standards while ensuring uninterrupted production lines.
Our solution:
- Sterilizing-grade membrane cartridges rated down to 0.02 µm, validated and compliant with FDA / USP Class VI / EU 1935/2004
- Product performance assurance: integrity testing, bacterial challenge tests, and validation guides
- Technical support during internal audits or regulatory inspections (ANSM, EMA, etc.)
Typical applications:
Serums, vaccines, injectable solutions, fermentation processes, solvents, and cleaning agents…
Customer impact:
Zero batch rejected due to particulate contamination, uninterrupted production, full compliance, peace of mind during audits.
Improving water quality, controlling costs, and protecting systems.
In many industries, water is everywhere: process water, cooling water, ultra-pure water, or closed-loop and reuse systems. Filtration must remove particles, sludge, and colloidal residues without causing losses or excessive maintenance. Environmental preservation is also a key concern.
Our technical advantages:
- High-capacity pleated cartridges (up to 30% higher flow rates)
- Optimized protection of RO membranes (reverse osmosis): reduced fouling
- Solutions compatible with recycled and closed-loop water systems
- Fast ROI: systems paid off within 6 months in several client cases
Typical applications:
Raw water filtration, RO prefiltration, wastewater treatment, ultrapure water, cooling towers, industrial closed loops…
Customer impact:
Lower treatment costs, extended filter life, significant reduction in cleaning and maintenance operations.
Flawless finish, free from defects and micro-particles.
In this industry, the visual and chemical stability of products is crucial. A single poorly filtered particle can cause an aesthetic flaw or compromise the performance of the finished product.
Our clients demand solutions that ensure consistent, reliable filtration without altering the formulation.
What we provide:
- High-performance filters for resins, pigments, solvents, and water-based bases
- Cartridges with high retention capacity and low release
- Filter cartridges specially designed for viscous liquids
- Final filtration guaranteeing a 100% homogeneous appearance
- Easy installation on batch or continuous production lines
Typical applications: automotive paints, industrial varnishes, lacquers, printing inks, UV coatings, colored solvents, and more.
Impact for our clients:
Over 70% reduction in visual defects, decreased product rejects, and improved uniformity and perceived performance of paints and inks.
In the semiconductor industry and critical infrastructures such as data centers, every fluid, ultra-pure water, solvents, acids, must be precisely controlled. A single particle or chemical release can cause an etching defect, damage a component, or lead to a critical shutdown.
Our technical solution:
- High-purity submicron filters (down to 0.01 µm) with ultra-low release
- Materials compatible with aggressive fluids: UPW (ultra-pure water), acids, bases, organic solvents
- Cartridges
- Customized solutions for cooling systems and cri
- tested in clean rooms with full traceabilitytical production steps
Typical applications: ultra-pure water, etching acids, cleaning liquids, cooling fluids (immersion, glycol water loops), and more.
Impact for our clients:
Up to 60% reduction in production defects, prevention of critical failures, enhanced reliability of etching, cleaning, and cooling processes, ensuring operational continuity even during emergencies.
Critical filtration solutions for every stage of the nuclear cycle.
The nuclear sector demands filtration solutions capable of withstanding complex environments: high temperatures, radioactivity, and high pressures. Any failure can have critical consequences. Operator safety, facility security, precision, traceability, and compliance are therefore essential.
Our solutions are deployed throughout the entire fuel cycle, from uranium extraction to storage, including plant operation and decommissioning.
