MUNCIE — An Italy-based manufacturer of industrial filters has chosen Delaware County for its North American headquarters.

Filtrec, which has had a local presence by keeping inventory in a storage building in Daleville, recently purchased an industrial building just south of Muncie and started operations there in June. The company is moving its inventory of thousands of filters into the former Taurus Tool building on Delaware County Road 400-S near Ind. 67,

Mauro Milani, director of operations for Filtrec United States, said the purchase of the building was completed on June 1.

Machinery to assemble Filtrec’s filter products will be installed at the new site after 6,000 pieces of inventory are moved there, the release stated. The company’s North American headquarters offices will follow.

As soon as we complete relocation, we’ll stock 2,000 more filters,” Milani said in the release.
