The Filter Factory was begun as a manufacturer of string-wound filter cartridges in October, 1988 in Yuma, Arizona. At that time, the company was a sole proprietorship owned by Jerry Paulin, who had over 10 years experience in the filtration industry, both in sales and manufacturing. He was attracted to Yuma because of the lack of competitors in the western United States, a readily available labor force, location on an interstate highway serviced by major truck lines and, most importantly, a significant market on the west coast.
