About Us!

JONELL INC was founded in Breckenridge, TX, in December of 1987 for the express purpose of providing the oil and gas industry with quality filter elements.

The three original team members of Jonell each of have over three decades of experience in the design, application and manufacturing of a wide variety of filtration and separation equipment. Utilizing this experience, Jonell has succeeded in developing over eight thousand different filter elements covering a wide variety of filtration applications.
JONELL was founded by Mr. John W. Clarke. Mr. Clarke’s manufacturing experience in the filtration industry began in 1964 as a member of Perry Equipment Corporation. In 1981 Mr. Clarke’s tenure as the technical manager of PECO came to an end as he took on a new role working with an EPC called Siirtec SpA in Milan, Italy. Siirtec designs everything from offshore platform topworks to natural gas processing plants. A common thread in all of these projects was the design, manufacture and integration of filtration and separation systems. While in Italy, Mr. Clarke began distributing Flo Line filter elements until 1987 when Flo Line burned to the ground. When it became apparent that Flo Line would not rebuild, Mr. Clarke required a source for filter elements and responded by creating JONELL INC Filtration Products.
Upon purchasing our first building located in Breckenridge, TX, as well as the specialty equipment required in the fabrication of sock and fiberglass filters, JONELL INC officially entered into the filtration market.
