SOMS Technologies

SOMS Technologies LLC, headquartered in Valhalla, NY, operates in the automotive aftermarket, focusing on advanced vehicle filtration products. The company's primary offering is the microGreen® Extended Performance Filter line, which includes technologically advanced oil, fuel, and air filters. This product line is designed to significantly reduce vehicle maintenance costs and lessen environmental impact. The business model appears to be direct sales and partnerships, with a strong emphasis on the fleet market, including car rental and fleet management industries. Revenue is generated through the sale of these premium filters, which are priced higher than conventional ones but offer long-term savings.

The company's core product, the microGreen® Extended Performance Oil Filter, was presented as a significant technological advancement in engine oil filtration. It features a patented, two-in-one design that combines a standard full-flow filter with a microfilter system capable of capturing particles as small as 2 microns. This dual-stage process keeps engine oil cleaner for longer periods, allowing for extended oil drain intervals of up to 30,000 miles. The key benefit for clients is a substantial reduction in maintenance expenses—by as much as 65%—and a decrease in oil consumption by up to 70%. The filters are designed as direct replacements for standard filters, fitting most vehicles without modification. The product line was later expanded to include extended performance fuel and air filters, applying similar principles of advanced filtration to extend the service life of these components and further reduce operating costs for vehicle owners. In 2018, forum discussions indicated that SOMS Technologies, LLC filed for bankruptcy.
