Business Partner Spotlight: Mark Fred

Mark Fred founded Filtration Concepts in 1994 with a vision that took the company from being a regional filter supplier to supplying many TAPPA members, as well as Higher Education institutions across Arkansas, Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.

Over the past three decades, Filtration Concepts' success has come from their commitment to providing customers with comprehensive filtration solutions that reduce overall filter expenditures but also contribute to decreased energy consumption, a smaller carbon footprint, and a minimized impact on landfills. Additionally, institutions have been able to reallocate personnel resources from HVAC filter service to other critical areas within facilities management.

Mark Fred's active involvement in the TAPPA community dates back to 2001, where he first served as an exhibitor. His consistent support of TAPPA has played a critical role in fostering meaningful connections within the industry.

According to Mark, “TAPPA has been invaluable resource that allows us to connect and build relationships with members, many of whom are customers and friends, some for as many as 30 years. We are proud to support TAPPA and grateful to the leadership over the years for allowing us to participate and build many wonderful relationships.”
