About
Paul GmbH & Co. KG, trading as PACO Gruppe, is a family-owned German manufacturer founded in 1953 in Steinau an der Straße, now in its third generation under CEO Garvin Ruppel. With over 350 employees across five production locations totaling approximately 40,240 m² of floor space and a network of 30-plus representatives serving customers in more than 80 countries, PACO ranks among the world's leading suppliers of precision-woven metal wire cloth and fabricated filter products. The company is the only German manufacturer offering woven wire mesh, custom-shaped filter elements, and complete process-engineered filtration systems from a single source, the latter through its HETA Verfahrenstechnik subsidiary acquired in 2010. PACO weaves stainless steel and specialty alloy wire cloth in a full range of mesh sizes, then fabricates it into filter candles, sieve baskets, pressure filter baskets, filter discs, star filters, leaf filters, cylinders, and split tubes. The HETA division delivers turnkey filtration systems including manual screen basket filters, bag filters, candle filters, automatic backflush filters with FiltraSmart intelligent control, and edge gap filters. Water and wastewater applications include rainwater and sewage filtration, ballast water treatment, seawater desalination pre-filtration, and fine screen baskets for municipal treatment works. PACO filter elements have been qualified for the NASA Mars Rover Curiosity and Ariane 5 launch vehicle programs. The company holds DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and EN 9100 (aerospace) certifications.
