FILAMATIC was founded by Sidney Rosen in the early 1950’s. A patriot at heart, Rosen began his career designing guns for ships in World War II. Soon after the war ended, he became a laboratory equipment salesman in Maryland selling machines that dispensed small quantities of liquids into containers. Always listening and learning, he quickly realized that customers wanted customized qualities and user-friendly features within their machines.
When Rosen brought these new ideas to his employer’s attention, his requests were mocked and ultimately denied. In that instant, he knew he had a head for business and an eye on the future, so with a leap of faith he decided to go into business for himself.
In the basement of his Baltimore, Maryland home, Rosen would envision what could be. He then started to design and manufacture machine parts at night while still selling and promoting his equipment during the day.
When his ideas took off, he needed more space and expanded his business to increase manufacturing capabilities. FILAMATIC’s first liquid filling model was the AB-5 Benchtop filler. Decades later and multiple iterations achieved, the AB-5 model is still an extremely popular filling machine that is widely used across many industries.
The spark behind the Benchtop model then caught fire and and grew into a series of liquid filling solutions that were able to help a wide-range of customers with a variety of filling applications.
