Facet Filtration

Facet was founded in 1943 and is headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The company resulted from the merger of seven companies and first served the automotive industry; the name is an acronym of Filter Automotive Components Environmental Technology. It developed the first aviation fuel coalescer used by the US military during World War II.

In the 1980s Facet expanded globally through a network of partners and distributed manufacturing sites. The company describes itself as a global leader in aviation fuel filtration with 80 years of experience and in-house research, product development and manufacturing.

The website now carries Donaldson Facet branding and also serves as the home for Kaydon products. Markets served include aviation, marine, power and energy, mining and heavy equipment, industrial and wastewater treatment.
