Dynamic Filtration: About Us

Industrial Air Filter Manufacturer

 

Dynamic Filtration Ltd. was established in 1988 in an 8,500 sq. ft production facility in Waterloo, Ontario Canada. During the early years of the company, all the equipment was either hand-built by us or purchased used as required (pleater, paper oven, modified rotary pleaters, etc.). The original 4 founders had a history of building quality industrial filters and filtration products with an extensive history and knowledge of the industry coming from other OEM distributors like McCarthy Robinson.

3 of the original founders left the company to pursue other ventures leaving the 4th, Steve Friend, as the sole owner and operator of the Canadian production and warehousing facility in 1998.


Dynamic Filtration: About Us

Steve’s daughter Stephanie joined Dynamic Filtration in 2003. Working in the shop as a general labourer, Stephanie worked her way up through the business moving to administration, and then sales all while getting her credentials to become the company’s first full time HR manager. In 2016 Stephanie worked hard to make the transition from HR Manager to General Manager while acquiring more accreditations and running the office while also overseeing all employees.

 


Dynamic Filtration: About Us

Steve’s son Sean, with an interest in manufacturing, industrial design and trades, started working part time at Dynamic Filtration while finishing his senior year of high school in 2006. Sean attended Conestoga college for welding and manufacturing, receiving his CWB GMAW certification and becoming Dynamic’s first full-time welder and fabricator. Taking on additional responsibilities, Sean became the head of manufacturing and machine maintenance in 2015. Determined to keep his high-quality standards for the company as leading industrial air filter manufacturers, he continued to take on more responsibilities and source new vendors while trying to eliminate as many inefficiencies as possible in production to bring Dynamic Filtration to where he and Stephanie believe the company could be. With all his knowledge of designing and building industrial filters and filter housings while running the shop, Sean transitioned to Operations Manager in 2016 where he oversaw everything in the shop from vendors and manufacturing, to QA and the shop employees.


 In 2014 Dynamic Filtration underwent an extensive building expansion which nearly doubled the production and warehousing capacity. As a proud family-owned & operated business, we are one of the premiere air filter manufacturers in the filtration industry and are a manufacturer and supplier to all of North America for inlet filters, and filter systems on compressors and blower units.

 

July 1st of 2018, Steve Friend officially retired, leaving Sean and Stephanie to run the business. In November 2021, the company was officially purchased by Sean, while Stephanie left Dynamic to pursue other life opportunities.

 

With plans to continue to grow the business with new ideas, and improved industrial filter manufacturing techniques, Sean is now the sole owner of Dynamic Filtration Ltd.
