Carter Chambers, LLC is very pleased to announce the acquisition of Industrial Filter Service and Supply (IFSS), located in Prairieville, Louisiana. In addition, IFSS and its 9 employees will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Carter Chambers, LLC with integration possibly in the future. IFSS currently has sales in excess of 5 million dollars adding 600 clients to our existing 3400-client base.

IFSS has been providing quality filtration products and services to the Gulf South States since 1985. IFSS is one of the top distributors of liquid, air, and gas filtration products to the marine and ship building industry. They have added over 28 filter rental units, which are in service at industrial locations throughout the U.S.

The company is a complementary fit to CCLLC and will further our strategy to grow the industrial filtration products and services market.
