About Durable Filter Manufacturing, LLC
Trusted Filtration Since 1959 — Built to Perform, Made to Last
Founded in 1959 by Edward Sowin, Durable Filter Manufacturing, LLC has been a trusted name in American-made filtration for over six decades. Edward believed deeply in the value of American-made products and built the company on the principles of quality, integrity, and community. A proud, family-owned business, we continue his legacy today by manufacturing high-performance string wound filter cartridges for industrial, commercial, and specialty applications—all made in the USA.
From our facility in Bensenville, Illinois, we serve a wide range of industries, including medical, food and beverage, chemical processing, and general manufacturing. Our filters are the first line of defense in liquid filtration—removing rust, dirt, microplastics, and other fine particles to protect equipment, improve system performance, and reduce costly downtime.
Rooted in the same community where Edward started it all, Durable Filter remains committed to personal service, long-lasting relationships, and dependable American craftsmanship.
