Mobile Oil Filtration

Continental Filters has its roots in Austria where Hans Inschick started an oil filtration service in his native town of Villach, Carinthia, a province of Austria, some 9 years ago.

From humble beginnings he was able to build a successful business, providing his service to the local industries such as saw mills, quarries, plastics industry and others. He emigrated to South Africa in 2005 and decide to re-start his oil filtration idea here in Gauteng. One of major economic consideration was the size of the industrial complex in Gauteng, which is n-times larger than the size of the business found back in Austria.

Richard Wohlrab, the other member of the Close Corporation, joined from the start, and the business of marketing the service commenced. We have since had been able to introduce our service to companies like Dunlop, Nampak and others - see references.

Austrian born and trained, Hans brings a vast experience in electro-mechanical engineering to the party. He has branched off into the field of oil filtration and has put his inventive/practical mind to good use by developing his one unique mobile oil filtration plant.

Hans continues to for ever improve the design and efficiency of our mobile filtration unit, not only for the benefit of Continental Filters but for the benefit of our current and future customers.

Austrian born and trained, Richard competed his training as an electrical engineer in Vienna, Austria in 1969. He emigrated to South Africa in 1970 and has spent most of his professional life in the computer industry as a developer of main frame applications. He has run his own business since 1986 providing main frame application development services to corporate SA. His customers included Nestle, Johannesburg City Council and many others.

With his engineering and computer training, Richard is providing a complementary role to Hans in that he not only looks after the financial and logistic side of the business, but also provides valuable inputs to the day-to-day running of the business.
