About the Author
Matt Coughlin
President & Owner | Dust Collection Engineer | Industrial Air Pollution Control Specialist
Matt Coughlin is the President of Baghouse.com, where he leads the design, engineering, fabrication, installation, and service of industrial dust collection systems for customers across North America.
Before joining Baghouse.com, Matt spent 15 years in the aerospace and turbomachinery industries, serving as a Program Manager at Collins Aerospace and holding various engineering roles at Pratt & Whitney and Solar Turbines. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and a Master’s degree in Supply Chain Management from the University of San Diego.
Industry Experience
Throughout his time with Baghouse.com, Matt has managed projects for customer organizations including SpaceX, Boeing, Collins Aerospace, Buzzi Cement, 1440 Foods, the Defense Logistics Agency, the U.S. Marine Corps Logistics Bases in Albany and Barstow, Warner Robins Air Force Base, Hill Air Force Base, and many other industrial and government facilities.
Combining a strong engineering background with extensive field experience, he specializes in helping manufacturers improve dust collection system performance, reliability, safety, and long-term operating costs.
“Many facilities live with sub-optimal dust collection because few suppliers can offer a sound engineering approach combined with the ability to install, commission, and support the full system. There’s a mix of equipment sales reps, part suppliers, and service crews out there but very few can provide full system, full lifecycle support. Our goal is to be a single source of dust collection for our customers – from initial system engineering and design, to equipment selection, to installation, commissioning and support for years – that’s how we find immense value for our customers, much more than just offering competitive filter prices or technical engineering support.”
Matt continues to combine his background in aerospace engineering with decades of industrial experience to help customers solve complex dust collection challenges. By emphasizing sound engineering, practical field experience, and long-term partnerships, he strives to deliver solutions that improve reliability, maximize equipment life, and support more sustainable manufacturing.
What Our Customers Say
"My experience working with Baghouse.com was very good. The design aspect was excellent—really well done. The installation itself was good as well. It was very easy to work with Matt and Dominick from the design aspects to the final installation."
"Matt helped us correct long-standing maintenance and air-handling issues by focusing on the root causes, not unnecessary add-ons. Baghouse has the system expertise to assist with a major overhaul and help build effective preventative maintenance systems to support effective air handling. His clear communication and ability to deliver a solid plan aligned with our budget made the project a success. I would absolutely work with him again.”
