PORT WASHINGTON, NY - Pall Corp., a leader in filtration, separation and purification, has acquired Filter Specialists Inc. (FSI), a worldwide supplier of filtration products and solutions based in Michigan City, IN.

“The addition of FSI’s products and technologies to our existing portfolio of filtration solutions is a great fit for Pall. FSI’s offerings are very complementary and add solutions to our existing addressable markets, in addition to covering markets where we currently don’t have complete solutions,” said Larry Kingsley, Pall Chairman and CEO. “The FSI products and markets tie nicely to our current plans of creating value for our customers, particularly in the oil and gas, chemical, and other industrial markets.”

FSI is a leader in filtration, operating primarily in the industrial paint, chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, and food and beverage markets. Pall will be acquiring FSI’s Polyweld^®, Polymicro^® and BOS filter bags, along with its extensive line of both steel and plastic filter vessels.
