The Beginning

As the director of Surface Treatment for Freudenberg Filtration for over 5 years, I pushed for investment in the dry separation market in the USA. At that time little interest in investing in that emerging technology. So, I went on my own and found an innovative manufacturer in Germany to work with and run trials of their products in the USA under my own company, Frankal Innovations. The company in Germany was Neufilter GMBH. We had a signed agreement for all of North America that included support, distribution, and compensation agreements. Many trials were performed, and innovations and ideas were shared...

The Curve Ball

As Frankal became more successful in winning these trials, something wasn’t quite right. Communication decreased, and willingness to support USA activities was noted. Then we got a call from Neufilter that they are now working with Freudenberg and signed a partnership with Freudenberg and Esienmann. The same partnership they had been working with Frankal on. Frankal was told Good luck, we are supported by a huge company now..

The Rise

After the Curve Ball, we decided that we would no longer rely on words or even signed contracts; we would build our own, improve the design, and earn the business back by simply being better. If you want to know the Frankal difference, we are happy to run a trial and dial in the right solution for your system
