The history of HIFI GROUP began in 1977 in Switzerland with the founding of P. HIRSCHI FILTRES by Pierre Hirschi and his wife Martine. The company started out as a filter distributor before embarking on a period of sustained international growth.
In 1996, she launched her own brand, HIFI FILTER®, reflecting her desire to live up to her slogan, ‘Your filtration partner’, and to establish herself as a major player on the international stage.
Already established in Switzerland and France, the group accelerated its growth and founded HIFI GROUP in 2007 to ensure the consistency and coordination of this expansion. This was followed by a gradual expansion across Europe and then internationally. The year 2020 marked a major turning point with the group’s entry into the world of manufacturing and the creation of several HIFI FACTORY sites. Today, HIFI GROUP brings together a group of commercial and industrial companies united by a shared vision: to anticipate, define and support the sustainable growth of the HIFI FILTER® brand.
