Amafilter - Filtration Group

In the 1930’s, Mr. L. Benjamins started a company based in Amsterdam,in the Netherlands to sell filtration consumables and spare parts. After the end of the second world war in 1945, Mr. L. Benjamins and his son began importing, and soon later manufacturing the “Niagara filters” which they branded as “Amsterdamse Machine- en Apparatenfabriek” (amafilter®). Their main product lines were vertical pressure blades for the Food & beverages industry which they also began exporting globally. Due to its rapid growth, amafilter® expanded its production into a larger facility in Alkmaar, in the Netherlands.

From this new location, amafilter® continued to design and develop new filter systems to add to its product lines. The amafilter® brand soon built a reputation for quality and technological innovation and became a well established name in the global market for solid-liquid filtration.

LFC Lochem Filtration Group

In 1979, three employees working at the Machine Factory based in Arnhem, the Netherlands, decided to start their own company to manufacture pressure leaf filters and began trading under the name of “Liquid Filtration Consultants” or “LFC Lochem®”. The company quickly acquired an outstanding reputation as an innovative engineering and manufacturing company that specialized in liquid filtration technology.

Over the years, LFC Lochem® developed a comprehensive range of high quality filtration products suitable for a diverse number of applications and built an excellent reputation in the field of filtration technology and on its ability to quickly respond to specific customer requests.
