ErtelAlsop manufactures depth filter media and liquid-filtration machinery, a business rooted in Ertel Engineering, founded by Frederick Ertel in 1932, and Alsop Engineering, founded by Samuel Alsop in 1920. The companies merged to form ErtelAlsop, which developed from filter media for pharmaceutical use into filtration equipment and media for liquid processing. The Kingston, New York company says customers have bought from it for over 80 years.
