Filter King LLC, a manufacturer of UL-certified custom HVAC filters, has announced the grand opening of its manufacturing and distribution center in Bethlehem, Pa., part of the Lehigh Valley region. The 61,600 square-foot Bethlehem facility, equipped for production, warehousing, and distribution, significantly enhances Filter King’s ability to serve the Northeast’s growing demand for premium air filtration solutions.
“Our goal is to reach the entire continental U.S. with next-day delivery,” said Rick Hoskins, founder and CEO of Filter King. “With the addition of the Pennsylvania facility, we now have a total of 200,000 square feet of operational space across three states and a workforce of more than 125 employees; we are well on our way to achieving this goal."
Strategically located in the Lehigh Valley, the Bethlehem site was chosen for its proximity to major metropolitan areas, including Philadelphia and New York City, placing it within a seven-hour drive of 40 percent of the U.S. population. The facility’s access to robust transportation networks and a skilled local workforce supports Filter King’s rapid expansion and commitment to operational excellence.
“Filter King is experiencing unprecedented growth in online direct-to-consumer sales,” Hoskins added. “In the second quarter of 2025, we produced and shipped more filters than in any single quarter in our nine-year history, driven by increasing demand for clean, efficient air filtration.”
The investment in Bethlehem is expected to create up to 120 jobs, the company said, offering opportunities in manufacturing, logistics, and administration. “Filter King’s investment in the Lehigh Valley continues the region’s growth as a center of diverse and innovative manufacturing,” said Don Cunningham, president and CEO of Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp.
