Harmsco, Inc.

Harmsco was founded in 1958 by John Harms soon after he and his family relocated to Florida from the State of Ohio. At the time the company’s primary assets were John’s experience in the liquid filtration industry, his unique Up-Flow filter design, wife Laura’s trustworthy assistance and John’s resolve to manufacture high quality filtration equipment and market them worldwide. Harmsco Hurricane Filters were patented and introduced to the market in 1968. Almost immediately, people in the filtration industry took note of the many advantages such as the Up-Flow Cartridge Filtration combined with Cyclonic Separation for dense solids which Harmsco Filters provide. As a result, sales began to accelerate.
