Met-Chem was established in 1956 as a manufacturer's representative for liquid filtration equipment with an in-house sewing department to manufacture replacement filter bags, cloths and media. This format was successful for almost 30 years; in 1985 after working for the company for 8 years, Wally Senney purchased it from the retiring owner. Wally vowed to grow the company through manufacturing and acquisition.
Over the years, Met-Chem has acquired complimentary companies to add to our group of process equipment and replacement parts suppliers. The complete list of these companies and their websites are listed at the bottom of this page.
Met-Chem's equipment manufacturing began with filter presses and clarifiers and gradually grew to include sludge dryers and complete waste treatment systems and component parts. While building this equipment Met-Chem still maintained our sewing department for the manufacturing of filter press cloths, anode bags, and filter bags.
