Our mission is to be a responsible, customer-focused innovation leader creating excellence in sustainable solutions for today and tomorrow. Our History Our filter business has a rich heritage as an innovation leader. Following the development of the first patented filter in 1924 by Boris Aivaz, Bunzl began to manufacture filters commercially in the early 1920s and the first dedicated facility was established in Jarrow, UK in 1948. Bunzl grew internationally through a series of acquisitions, which included Filtrona Corporation and the P.P. Payne tapes business, which launched the market-leading Rippatape solution in the 1950s. Filtrona became the adopted name of the successful fibres division, expanding into Asia in the 1970s and 1980s, and was then demerged from Bunzl in 2005. In 2013, the filters division changed its name to Essentra plc to reflect diversification into industrial components. In November 2022, the successful filters and tapes division was sold to new owner Centaury Management Limited. The business is now rebranded as Filtrona, a compelling name with a rich legacy of innovation and supported by strong industry partnerships. For more information, please visit www.filtrona.com
