PBI has been researching the filtration and separation industry worldwide for over 25 years, beginning with an assignment from Parker Hannifin Corporation, a Fortune 300 company, in 1984. During this time we have amassed an unparalleled wealth of information on the size, structure and segmentation of the industry by country and region.

Our proprietary database comprises of over 1300 world manufacturers, operating in 51 countries around the world. We are constantly updating and expanding the database, making it a valuable resource for global M&A approaches or for strategic sales, marketing and competitive share analysis. The database is available for purchase or is available at no cost with your commissioning an M&A project.

Some of PBI’s diverse assignments are described below. Our market surveys can include determination of the size of a market, analysis of value segments, description of distribution channels, projections of growth, identification of trends, and examination of the competitive structure of an industry. We recognize that some projects require a global perspective, so we have partners in Europe, Asia and Latin America to assist us in our international endeavors.
