In a lot of ways I started my real career with Innovation Filter System (IFS). Our mission at Innovation Filter System is to filter and separate the harmful from the useful in industrial cutting fluids. Some of our major achievements include- 1. Forming a collaboration and/or partnerships with international companies like Transor, Gmbh and Friess, Gmbh.2. We are a preferred solution provider for oil-water separation technologies for applications like component washing machines… Show more In a lot of ways I started my real career with Innovation Filter System (IFS).
