History

Koch Filter Corporation:

Koch Filter Corporation was founded in 1966 by Joseph M. Koch.   From humble beginnings in a two-room office in Louisville, Kentucky, Koch Filter has evolved into a world class manufacturer of air filtration products. 

Koch is recognized globally for its premier brand of high efficiency air filtration products and the industry's broadest range of air filters for any application. Our wide array of filtration products is currently installed in over 50,000 commercial, medical and industrial accounts worldwide.

In 2010, Koch Filter Corporation was acquired by Tomkins plc.  Ownership has changed but Koch’s experienced management team remains.  Nearly a half-century after our founding, the company continues to grow with second-generation family leadership. Koch Filter is a stand-alone entity within the Tomkins family of companies.  Same experienced management team; same quality products; same friendly and knowledgeable Customer Service representatives; same reliable sales force…even the same voices answering the phones when you call!  And, as we have since our founding, we continue to pride ourselves on our ability to be flexible and make decisions based on our Customers needs. 

Within the Tomkins Building Products Group, Koch Filter is the first component of an exciting new Filtration Division.  Leveraging Tomkins’ world-class manufacturing and engineering capabilities enables Koch Filter to increase our product offering, adopt best-in-class manufacturing practices, and introduce new products at a faster pace - and that translates into greater potential sales for our distributors.

Koch Filter's Corporate Headquarters and primary Manufacturing Plant are located in Louisville, Kentucky with manufacturing plants in Houston, TX, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, and East Greenville, PA.  Plans are underway to open additional manufacturing facilities in the coming years.

Koch Filter Corporation:  Durable, Reliable, Versatile…since 1966!
