WHO IS LES HALL?

HISTORY

As the business grew, Les hired more employees and began stocking and selling larger pieces of industrial filtration equipment.  The product line grew to include an assortment of engine and hydraulic filters. By 1969, Les Hall Filter had the largest inventory of industrial filters and filtration equipment in Western Canada. The company’s reputation for customer service excellence led to new customers in the construction, forestry and mining markets.

Les Hall unexpectedly passed from a heart attack in 1971, but it wasn’t before planting a firm footing as BC’s leading filtration supplier. His widow sold the business to a new generation of entrepreneurs, and the business continued to grow through the decades. Today, Les Hall Filter is proudly owned and operated as a privately held company in BC.
