Strictly speaking, I don’t think there are many air filter manufacturers in France, but that doesn’t mean they are unknown. At the same time, many high-end manufacturing industries in France, including some mechanical equipment, demand air filters.
According to my understanding, French air manufacturers were the first to use folding machines to produce pleated filters, which means they are the originators. This folding machine has become what it is today after continuous improvement and technological upgrading. In other words, this kind of discount machine has fascinated us for decades.
I have put together a list of the 10 best air filter manufacturers. If you are wondering where the French manufacturers are and looking to buy, this article will be a wealth of information.
Like previous articles, I usually start with a table that lets us quickly browse and get information about these manufacturers.

Top1 Koinfilter
Headquarters: China
Year established:2006
WebsiteWebsite: koinfilter.com
Main product: Air filter, HEPA filter, Cartridge filter, pleated filter, custom filter, Air purifier filter, etc.,
Years of experience, strong R&D capabilities, and excellent product quality have made us famous in the French market. I’m very proud of that. From standard products to customized, we have completed a lot of projects. The value of long-term cooperation has allowed us to establish deep relationships with many customers. After using our products, customers have no worries. We have also helped many online merchants and chain physical stores develop businesses and increase sales.
Top2 Hifi-filter
Headquarters: Pontarlier, France
Year established:1977
WebsiteWebsite: hifi-filter.com
Main product: Cabin air filter, dust filter, cartridge filter, etc.,
Their products cover HVAC, dust removal, automotive air, and cabin filtration. This gives them a large market share, and has become a market leader in gas separation and filtration. I noticed that they also established branches and factories in Central and Southern Europe, gradually making them one of the leaders in the European market. They produce over 28,000 models of filter products. And they established warehouses and online sales. This further reduces sales time and boosts business.
Top3 Negofilters
Headquarters: MORET LOING ET ORVANNE, France
Year established: Around 2010
WebsiteWebsite: https://www.negofiltres.com/
Main product: Metal Mesh filter, pleated filter, Synthetic fiber filter, etc.,
Metal material filters are their main products, including various metal filter elements, stainless steel filters, etc. They play an essential role in high-temperature or oil and gas separation situations. One of my clients is a beneficiary of such a product. This type of filter element is used frequently in food and plastic processing industries. A high degree of professionalism makes them leaders.
Top4 FISA FILTRATION
Headquarters: LA CHAPELLE D’ARMENTIERES, France
Year established: 1959
WebsiteWebsite: https://fisafiltration.fr/
Main products: Cartridge filter, HVAC filter, pre-filter, HEPA filter, etc.
Among all manufacturers, this one has a relatively long history. Their filter products are also used in industrial fields, such as power plants, surface treatment, and air intake filtration. What I want to highlight is their fast delivery mechanism. If you are particularly anxious to get the goods, or your equipment suddenly breaks down, and you want to restore it quickly, looking for them is a good choice. I really appreciate this because it’s not easy to produce filters rapidly. This means that they have optimized every aspect very well.
Top5 TECHNICIS
Headquarters: LA CHAPELLE SUR ERDRE, France
Year established: 1992
WebsiteWebsite: https://www.technicis.com/
Main products: Paint stop filter, G4 filter, Activated carbon filter, etc.,
They are very famous for their filters in the spray field, and I think their success comes from their mission to protect the environment. The spraying industry has a long history, but the environmental pollution it produces cannot be ignored. In particular, VOCs and benzene are the objects that need to be removed. In addition to paint room filters, they also produce dust filter cartridges and other filter cotton, enriching their product line in industrial dust removal.
Top6 TECHNIFILTRE
Headquarters: Montrabe, France
Year established: 2009
WebsiteWebsite: https://www.technifiltre.fr/
Main products: Cartridge filter, Pre-filter, Pleated-filter
Compared with other manufacturers, this company mainly provides solutions, such as air suction and chip removal, for the machining industry. Their products are filters and include some suction tables, suction arms, etc. For industrial processing, these filtration devices can significantly help improve the productivity of machine tools. In addition, they provide separation services for oil mist, lotion, and oil bottles. They have a significant market share in these areas and have increased their visibility.
Top 7 PROFILTRE
Headquarters: Montrabe, France
Year established: 2001
WebsiteWebsite: http://www.profiltre.com/
Main products: V Bank filter, Pocket filter, Panel filter, etc.,
Their services focus on the aftermarket, that is, the installation and repair of industrial equipment, but they also manufacture and sell filters. At the same time, they also became Donaldson’s partners. Frankly speaking, I have always thought that selling filters in industrial services is a good idea, especially when you do business in a particular country and region, which can better enhance your professionalism. Customers will also be more trusting. Of course, the business brought will also be relatively stable. And I find that the competition in this field is not intense, which is good news.
Top 8 MORTELECQUE
Headquarters: Provin, France
Year established: 1830
WebsiteWebsite: http://www.mortelecque.com/
Main products: V Bank filter, Pocket filter, Panel filter, etc.,
This is a long-established family business that has been in operation for over 150 years and has a vibrant product range in the areas of industrial filtration and gas facility filtration. They supply over 35,000 products to 7,000 customers worldwide, and that number speaks for itself. As pioneers in the industry, I respect them very much. I am also grateful for their contribution to this industry. Remarkably, they have remained in the filter business and continue to improve and develop their products.
Top 9 AAF SA
Headquarters: USA
Year established: 1973
WebsiteWebsite: https://www.aafintl.com/
Main products: Air filter, pocket filter, cartridge filter, HVAC filter, etc.,
AAF SA is the branch of AAF in the United States. As a global company, AAF also has significant influence in France. AAF’s products have covered all areas of air filtration and continue to move towards new industries and fields. I’ve mentioned them in another article, and as market leaders, it’s natural that they should be on this list. Their filtration products have a high market share in HVAC, whether in the household or commercial air conditioning fields.
Top 10 Camfil
Headquarters: Sweden
Year established: 1963
WebsiteWebsite: https://www.camfil.com/fr-fr/
Main products: HEPA filter, Cartridge filter, High-temperature filter, etc.,
If you are engaged in the air filtration industry, you must know camfil. As a world-leading filter manufacturer, they have set up their French branch in LA GARENNE COLOMBES. Camfil has absolute advantages in surface treatment, dust filtration, and other industries. I think their market share in this field is number one. At the same time, their products cover almost all industrial fields, and their long-term excellent performance makes them a brand that industrial filtration users must consider.
Last thought
Air filtration is also a broad industry; air filters come in many designs and features. The manufacturers I’ve listed in this article illustrate precisely that. They all have outstanding performance in the air segment, bringing more detailed references and choices to users, buyers, and traders with different needs.
