About Hoffmann Filter Corporation:
Hoffmann Filter Corporation was founded in 1984 when Georg Hoffmann decided to expand his German filtration company, Hoffmann Maschinen-und Apparatebau, in the United States. With the quick success of Hoffmann Filter Corporation as a sales office in Novi, MI, we began manufacturing Precoat Filters in 1985. The product line continued to grow, and Hoffmann Filter moved to a larger facility in Wixom, MI. However, the rising popularity of Hoffmann filters in the United States caused the company to outgrow the facility in only five years, and so in late 1996, Hoffmann Filter moved to Brighton, MI where we are currently headquartered. Today, thousands of filters later, Hoffmann Filter Corporation has plenty of room to manufacture top-quality filters. Our facility now boasts 45,000 square feet of manufacturing space that allows us to continuously push our limits in filter production.
