The story

Founded in 1946 as Micro Metallic Corporation.

In 1953, Pall purchased an industrial building at 30 Sea Cliff Ave, Glen Cove, NY (occupied until 1999). In 1958, Pall Corporation constructed a building at 36 Sea Cliff Ave (occupied it until 1971, when Pall Corporation sold the building to August Thomsen).

The company was renamed Pall Corp in 1957. In 1958 Pall began to develop filters for use in aircraft hydraulics, applied to the landing gears of American Airlines Boeing 707s. Then, Pall developed filters to purify jet fuel.

Through the 1960s, the business expanded, with sales of $6.7 million in 1960. Pall Europe Limited formed in 1966.

Pall Cortland was established in 1961, purchased from Trinity Equipment Company.

In the 1970s, Pall became a leader in fine filtration. Sales reached $88 million in 1978. Major contribution in medical applications.

Pall played a major role in the cleanup of the 1979 Three Mile Island nuclear accident.

The company continued to grow in the 80's and 90's, adding applications and products. In the mid-80's, Pall contributed to the construction of the Eurotunnel under the English Channel, providing solutions to hydraulic operations needed to bore through the channel bedrock. In 1988, they began selling a filter for blood transfusions that reduced leukocyte levels below all other existing filters. Centrisep air cleaners were integrated into U.S. Army and Royal Air Force (UK) helicopters to reduce sand and dust out of engines during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.

In 1997 the company acquired Gelman sciences, and in 1998, Pall acquired German company Rochem.

In response to an article in Forbes magazine about dioxane in Michigan, Farsad Fotouhi, VP of Life Sciences division, responded "Pall is in full compliance with the Consent Judgment it entered with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), which serves as the legal framework for the cleanup." Later in 2013, Scio Township Supervisor Clark said he's heard from Fotouhi that there will be a staff of about 20 people that will remain on the site.

On May 31, 2015, Danaher Corporation announced it would acquire Pall Corporation. The transaction closed in August 2015, with Danaher paying $127.20 per share or about $13.8 billion. The acquisition was completed on August 31, 2015.

In September 2022, it was announced that Pall Life Sciences will be merging with Cytiva to create a new Biotechnology Group within Danaher.
