orvair Filtration Group has delivered a strong increase in sales for the first half of fiscal 2011. This growth is reflected in the half yearly results reported by parent company Porvair plc for its microfiltration division where aerospace revenues were up 17% and several large successful bids in the industrial process and nuclear industries contributed to record orders in the second quarter (see Filtration Industry Analyst, July 2011). Tom Liddell, managing director of Porvair Filtration group, said: “Our growth has been as a result of an increased sales footprint and operational capability in the US, and from the introduction of a range of new products including fuel tank inerting filters, printing filters and materials for Solid Phase Extraction. As a result, we are looking to expand our workforce, particularly in engineering and purchasing, by close to 10% this year.”
