We are listed on the London Stock Exchange as a support services company, and an internationally recognized market leading supplier of specialty plastic and fibre products.
By concentrating on niche international markets Filtrona has been able to establish and develop strong positions in chosen product categories. Filtrona is segmented into Plastic Technologies and Fibre Technologies, each contributing similar levels of sales to Filtrona. Plastic Technologies produces sources and distributes protection and finishing products, self-adhesive tear tape and certain security products as well as proprietary and customized plastic extrusions and packaging items for consumer products. Fibre Technologies focuses on the production and supply of special filters for cigarettes and bonded fibre products such as reservoirs and wicks for writing instruments and printers, household products and medical diagnostic devices.
Our Tacoma extrusion plant was founded in 1951 as Davidson Plastics Company, the first custom extrusion operation in the Pacific Northwest. The company started with 10 employees, 4 extruders and a blown film machine located on Fairview Avenue in Seattle, Washington. By 1980, Davidson Plastics had grown to over 45 employees and 8 extruders. Shortly thereafter, a second manufacturing plant with 8 additional extruders was established in Kent just a short distance away from the original plant. In January 2000 Davidson was acquired by Bunzl plc and then demerged to become part of Filtrona plc in June 2005.
