UFI Filters opens hydraulic filtration plant in South Korea

UFI Filters has opened a new production plant in Gimpo, South Korea, which is entirely dedicated to hydraulic filtration.

The new site will specialise in the design, production, and commercialisation of complete filters, filter elements, air breathers, and accessories.

This product line, developed by UFI Filters Hydraulics, the group’s division specialising in hydraulic filtration, is said to guarantee optimal protection for the hydraulic systems of excavators and construction machinery.

Additionally, it includes tailor-made solutions designed to meet the specific requirements of South Korean OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers).

The facility is strategically located near major industry players, including Hyundai Construction Equipment (HCE), a long-standing partner of UFI Filters.

Giorgio Girondi, chairman of UFI Filters said: “Over the years, we have built 22 production sites worldwide, driven by organic internal growth and investment in our vision and expertise.

“Each new plant is a promise of innovation, customer proximity, and the creation of long-term value, the result of a commitment founded on trust-based relationships and a sustainable development strategy.”
