About IOW Group
IOW Group takes its name from our place of origin, the Isle of Wight where we continue to operate today. IOW group started trading in 2016, and since then, we've had year-on-year growth where our mission is to transform the oil filtration industry for more efficient operations, whilst having a positive impact on the environment.
Challenges in Oil Filtration
Traditionally, industrial engines rely on standard filters to clean lubrication oil. However, these filters allow smaller abrasive particles to pass through under pressure. Overtime, these particles act like liquid sandpaper, gradually eroding critical engine components, compromising performance. Despite the existence of centrifugal oil filters, the technology has remained largely unchanged for decades, failing to keep up with modern demands.
Our Technology
At IOW Group, innovation is at the core of everything we do. Our team of engineers have developed state-of-the-art Centrifugal Oil Filters that are 150% more efficient than the current market leaders. By enhancing the traditional centrifugal technology with patented advancements, we've revolutionized oil filtration, offering superior separation capabilities. Our new technology not only boosts engine performance, but also aligns with tighter emission controls, contributing to global efforts in reducing carbon emissions.
Manufacturing on Site
To ensure the highest quality standards, we manufacture and assemble our products onsite in Ryde. We’ve recently invested in cutting-edge collaborative robots (cobots) to increase our production team’s output capacity. This addition enables us to maintain continuous manufacturing operations, even outside regular business hours. Moreover, our Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines allows us to produce components at precision level with tight tolerances to improve overall quality. This meticulous approach allows us to streamline lead times, reduce costs and minimize waste.
Global Reach
IOW Group serves clients across various industries, including marine, chemical, power, transport, mining, and oil. IOW Group plays a vital role in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of large industrial diesel engines crucial within production processes. Moreover, our network of partners spans Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia, enabling us to expand our global reach and deliver cutting-edge filtration solutions to customers worldwide.
