Vince Romeo founded Five Star Filter in 2006 in Houston, TX. Inspired in part by his grandparents and family which owned several filter companies, Romeo initially began operating the business in an extra room. In the years since those humble beginnings, Five Star Filter has become the leading, broad-line supplier of commercial, manufacturing, industrial dust collection and filtration products. What began as a small operation in an extra room in a house has since expanded into a 50,000 square foot facility with five loading docks operating daily at all hours.
