Camfil Farr Air Pollution Control (www.camfilfarrapc.com) plans to open a 40,000-square-foot manufacturing plant for the company's dust and fume collection equipment in the U.K.
The facility in Heywood, Greater Manchester, UK, is expected to open in January 2013, and the company expects to employ more than 100 people in engineering, metal fabrication, welding and assembly positions once the facility is fully operational.
"We are making a significant investment in the new U.K. manufacturing plant to allow us to service our European customer base more effectively," said Rick Kreczmer, European sales director for Camfil Farr APC. "We will be able to supply products fast while still giving customers exactly what they require for their individual applications: quality dust collection equipment, fabricated to their needs and shipped on time. We intend to meet and exceed customer expectations."
