History

Pneumapress® Filter Corporation was founded in 1989 by current owner and President, Mr. Steve Benesi. Mr. Benesi had worked for several years on the installation, start-up and troubleshooting of a wide range of filtration equipment. After observing the difficulties associated with this equipment, such as complexity, lack of reliability and effectiveness, Mr. Benesi sought to develop filtration equipment that would resolve these difficulties. The design of this new filtration equipment would focus on simplicity, reliability and cost effective operation.

The first single module filters went into operation in 1991. Following the very successful introduction of these single module filters and seeing the need for larger capacity filters, Pneumapress® introduced a series of multi module filters in 1995. The first of these multi-module filters went into operation in 1996 and allowed the available filter size to increase from 12 ft² (1 m²) to 360 ft 2 (25 m²). Through customer feedback and R & D efforts, Pneumapress again increased the capacity of the multi-module filters to 720 ft² (50m²). With a wide range of filter sizes and options available, Pneumapress® began to expand into many different applications and geographical markets. In 1997 the first international sale was completed.

Research and development has been an integral component in the success of Pneumapress. The main objective of the research and development focuses on new filter media, new filtration processes and technology, and providing solutions to customers who are developing processes or upgrading existing processes.

Pneumapress® is now based in Richmond, CA where our main sales, engineering and research facility is located.
