Star Filters: About Us
Star Filters, a leading manufacturer of plate and frame filter presses, was founded in 1904 as Star Liquid Machinery of the Bronx, New York. In 1978, the company was moved to a 21,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Timmonsville, South Carolina and became known as Star Systems.
The Hilliard Corporation of Elmira, New York, founded in 1905, purchased Star Systems in 1986, updated and simplified the Star name to Star Filters, and has now incorporated the Star products into the Elmira manufacturing facility.
