What we do
One company accountable for the whole controlled environment
MAP Filters (India) Pvt. Ltd. is a global engineering and manufacturing company specialising in turnkey solutions for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare sectors. Over two decades we have grown from designing and constructing cleanrooms into a complete turnkey solution provider.
We are one of the few companies internationally to manufacture both cleanroom equipment and air filters ourselves. That matters in practice: the filters inside our equipment, and the equipment inside the rooms we build, are ours, so when a room does not hold its class there is no argument about whose component is responsible.
- Design
- Layout, airflow strategy, pressure regime and filtration stages worked out for the process the room has to support.
- Engineering
- In-house engineering for the critical and vital elements that go into a specialist manufacturing facility.
- Manufacturing
- Cleanroom equipment and air filters made on our own premises, which is unusual even internationally.
- Construction
- Cleanrooms and controlled environments built and handed over as a single turnkey contract.

Featured capability
Turnkey cleanroom projects
A cleanroom is a system, not a set of parts. The partition system, the doors, the air handling plant, the ducting, the terminal filters and the flooring all decide the same outcome, which is whether the finished room holds its class in daily use.
- Envelope
- PUF partitions, false ceilings, cleanroom doors and seamless epoxy flooring.
- Air systems
- Air handling units, ducting, terminal boxes and DDC control panels.
- Equipment
- Air showers, pass boxes, garment cubicles and laminar flow units.
- Filtration
- The full train, from washable pre filters to H13 and H14 terminal HEPA.
Why MAP Filters
We manufacture the filters, not just the rooms
One of the few companies internationally to manufacture both cleanroom equipment and air filters. Replacement elements can be made in sizes no longer generally available, and a filter and its housing are specified against each other.
Design through to manufacturing, in house
Design, engineering, construction and manufacturing are all our own. The interfaces between the envelope and the air system are one party's responsibility, which is where multi-vendor projects usually fail.
Two decades in regulated industries
Over twenty years as an engineering and construction partner to pharmaceutical and allied industries, the sectors with the least tolerance for a room that does not hold its class.
Standard and custom, on the same line
Filters and equipment are made in standard and customised sizes, so an awkward dimension or a non-standard housing is a manufacturing instruction rather than a reason to redesign the ceiling.
All our facilities are ISO 9001:2008 certified. It is our endeavor to continue to strive towards excellence and provide maximum value to the customer.
MAP Filters quality policy
How a project runs
- 01
Requirement
What the process needs, the class the room has to hold, and the constraints of the building it goes into.
- 02
Design and engineering
Airflow, pressure cascade, filtration stages and equipment positions specified as one system.
- 03
Manufacturing
Panels, doors, air handling plant, equipment and filters built in our own facilities to that specification.
- 04
Construction and installation
Site execution, with the envelope and the air system installed by the party that engineered both.
- 05
Validation
Installed filter integrity, airflow velocity and particle counts measured against the design figures.
- 06
Service and maintenance
Filter replacement and plant servicing, so a room that passed at handover still passes later.
Industries we serve
Six sectors, six different definitions of clean
Pharmaceutical and BiotechnologyCleanrooms, containment equipment and filtration for drug manufacturing, formulation and biotech research.
Chemical Research LaboratoriesFume containment, biosafety cabinets and gas phase filtration for laboratories handling volatile compounds.
Electronics ManufacturingParticle control and laminar flow work stations for electronics assembly and test.
Semiconductor ProductionThe most demanding filtration case, where bypass leakage matters as much as media efficiency.
Food ProcessingHygienic design and filtration for food production, where cleaning regimes are as demanding as the air.
Hospitals and HealthcareModular operation theatres, laminar flow surgical fields and infection control filtration.

Our approach
We would rather show you the reasoning than a gallery. Three principles decide most of what we build.
Specify the seal, not only the grade
At Class 5 and above, air leaking around a filter frame contributes more than air passing through the media. Sealing method is an engineering decision, not a preference.
Protect the expensive stage with the cheap one
A washable pre filter costs a fraction of a HEPA and does the same work at the coarse end. Skipping it turns the expensive filter into a consumable.
Measure it, do not assume it
A room is classified on what it is shown to do under test. Installed filter integrity testing through DOP ports is part of handover, not an optional extra.

Understanding cleanroom filtration
What actually determines whether a cleanroom works
What does an ISO class actually guarantee?
ISO 14644-1 classifies a room by one thing: the maximum permitted airborne particle concentration per cubic metre. It says nothing about viable organisms, and nothing about chemical cleanliness. A laboratory can hold Class 5 particle counts with solvent vapour throughout, because a particle counter does not see molecules in the gas phase.
Read the full explanationWhy does a cleanroom need four filter stages?
Each stage protects the one behind it. A washable pre filter takes the coarse dust, a fine filter takes the intermediate range, and the terminal HEPA establishes the class. Remove the cheap stages and the expensive one does their work once, then needs replacing.
See the full filtration trainHow do you choose between a gasket and a gel seal?
The difference is how the filter seals to its housing, not how the media performs. In a terminal ceiling position above a critical process, gel seal is normally correct because it removes the bypass path a compression gasket can leave. In an AHU bank several metres upstream, a gasket seal is appropriate and cheaper.
How to specify a HEPA filterWho needs a turnkey contract rather than equipment?
If the envelope and the air system are bought separately, the interface between them belongs to nobody. Turnkey makes one party accountable for the finished room's performance. Where a facility only needs replacement filters or a single piece of equipment, those are supplied on their own.
About turnkey constructionCommon questions
The questions we are asked most often, about the company and about specification.
All frequently asked questionsWhat does MAP Filters manufacture?
Four related product families: cleanroom turnkey projects (PUF partitions, doors, air handling units, ducting, terminal boxes, control panels and epoxy flooring), cleanroom equipment (air showers, laminar air flow units, pass boxes, biosafety cabinets, dispensing and sampling booths, garment cubicles), HVAC air filters (pre, fine, HEPA, super HEPA, mini pleat, activated carbon, combination, pocket and bag filters), and modular operation theatres. We also take on HVAC projects, cleanroom validation and plant maintenance.
Does MAP Filters manufacture its own filters, or resell them?
We manufacture them. We are one of the few companies internationally to manufacture both cleanroom equipment and the air filters that go into it, from premises of about 12,000 sq ft near Mumbai. In practice this is why the filters inside our air showers, pass boxes and laminar flow units are our own, and why replacement elements can be made in sizes that are no longer generally available.
Which industries does MAP Filters work with?
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology, chemical research laboratories, electronics manufacturing, semiconductor production, food processing, and hospitals and healthcare. Pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare are the three segments the company was built around.
Can MAP Filters take on a complete cleanroom, or only supply equipment?
Both. Our in-house capability covers design, engineering, construction and manufacturing, so a project can be taken on as a single turnkey contract. Where a facility only needs the envelope, or only needs equipment or replacement filters, those can be supplied on their own.
What does HEPA actually mean?
HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air. For a filter to qualify as HEPA it must remove 99.97% of particles greater than or equal to 0.3 micron. That specific figure and particle size is the definition, not a marketing claim. HEPA filters correspond to grades H13 and H14 of EN1822 and support ISO Class 5 operation as per ISO 14644.
How do I request a quotation?
Use the enquiry form on this site, call +91 89560 50201 or +91 89560 50209, or email marketing@mapfil.com. For a filter enquiry it helps to have the size, quantity, required efficiency or grade, and the frame material. For a cleanroom or HVAC project, the room layout and the target ISO class are the useful starting points.
Where is MAP Filters located?
The corporate office is in Kopar Khairane, Mahape, in the TTC Industrial Area of Navi Mumbai (Thane district, Maharashtra 400705). There are two manufacturing units in Palghar district, at Naigaon East and at Vasai East. Full addresses are on the contact page.
