Markert USA carries forward a Moravia, New York, manufacturing legacy that began in the late 1970s, when Peter Cross and Barry Hibble founded a filter-press-cloth company. Joanne Cross continued that family tradition in 2013 by launching Cross Filtration, which became Markert USA after joining Germany’s Markert Group in December 2022. Today, the company serves North American industrial customers with custom textile filtration solutions shaped by local manufacturing and four generations of European expertise.
