About Standard Filter Corporation

Einar Wiik was the visionary who started Standard Filter. He came over from his native Norway in the 1950’s. As a tool and die maker and then as a machine fabricator he built a reputation for ingenuity in designing and fabricating filter production process equipment. In the early 1970’s he opened his own business, Standard Filter, in a small building near downtown Los Angeles. It was here that his creativity flourished. Soon the building was too small and the plant was moved to the first of what would be three buildings in the Atwater area of Los Angeles.

In 1991 a new 30,000 sq. ft. facility was acquired in Carlsbad, CA. It now houses arguably the most automated filter bag production facility in the world.

Today Standard Filter Corporation is a world leader in filter manufacturing serving the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. On October 4th, 2001, Einar left us for a greater journey but his spirit of innovation is still alive and well in the organization he founded. Lotta Wiik serves the company as Chairman of the Board, and Toby Wiik runs the company’s day to day operations as President and Chief Executive Officer.

Filter Media Fabrication

If your baghouse filters have not been giving you the performance you expect or require, let Standard Filter custom fabricate a filter media for your specific application. We manufacture our own felts and can provide the specifications necessary to increase the life and performance of your filter bags. Our proprietary stretch-lock manufacturing and heat-setting process eliminates the nagging problem of sagging bags. No other manufacturer can offer such complete control and custom fabrication to meet your demands.
