Filter.com is a privately held company located in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1998 by Marshall Barney, current CEO of both the Barney Corporation, Inc. and Filter.com LLC, Mr. Barney continues to invest in the growth and development of these two successful companies. The Barney Corporation has more than two decades of strong financial performance and that synergy reflects in Filter.com's success and industry strength.
Over eight years ago Barney Corporation was having difficulity in obtaining filtration products from a supplier. Unfortunately there was no organized way to quickly and easily identify other distributors who might have the same product. In an effort to address future shortages of supply Filter.com was formed, choosing the Internet as its global platform. Filter.com development began in March 1998. Filter.com, the gathering place or "portal" for the filtration industry was launched offering buy/sell databases as well as a place to exchange information.
Filter.com is designed to be an indispensable tool for manufacturers, resellers, buyers, and users. With an onslaught of new information and the changing dynamics of conducting business in the filter industry, it's difficult to balance technology, communications, and commerce. Filter.com leverages the power of the Internet to help you operate as quickly, thoroughly, and cost-effectively as possible.
As the premier Internet Portal to the filtration industry, Filter.com promotes the exchange of information and the buying and selling of filters. Manufacturers and resellers use the site to advertise cost-effectively, demonstrate technical expertise, promote new products and services, and efficiently conduct commerce. Buyers and users utilize the site to save time and money, get answers to technical questions, and discover useful information and attractive purchasing opportunities.
