Porvair relocates US HQ to larger facility

A

shland, Virginia-based Porvair Filtration Group Inc has moved its US headquarters to a bigger facility located a short distance from its previous site. The new facility doubles the size of the manufacturing floor and provides larger office and meeting space for growth in R&D, engineering, sales and marketing, and finance. The expansion will help Porvair to develop its product line, and comes nearly three years after the company acquired Chand Eisenmann Metallurgical (CEM), and just months after the acquisition of TEM Filter Co, now Porvair’s Boise Division. Both acquisitions have now been merged with Porvair’s Ashland operations, and are integrated with the group’s strategy to grow its US division into a major filtration organisation. At Ashland, Porvair manufactures sintered filter elements and mesh materials including precision Sinterflo MC filter plates, as well as fluidizing media. It also now manufactures Last Chance Filters for the aerospace and defence industries. Kevin Nelson, president of Porvair Inc, said that successful delivery of the relocation and expansion reaffirmed the company’s commitment to investing in its operations.

“We are certain that this key investment in our Ashland HQ will ensure that Porvair remains at the forefront of industry demand, while forging new avenues of growth,” said Nelson. “It is hugely important to Porvair that we remain dedicated to investment in ground-breaking technology and exemplary customer service. There is no doubt that 301 Business Lane will be a facility that Porvair employees in the US and UK will be very proud of.” Porvair Filtration Group has also completed an extension of its Caribou facility in Maine, installing an advanced cleanroom, doubling the size of its manufacturing and office space and improving its existing building. The filter company has invested in a state-of-the-art cleanroom to ensure its products for the microelectronic and semiconductor markets are free from contamination. The class 100 cleanroom will help reduce particulate contamination and regulate environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and pressure. The Caribou site also now has a modern, two-storey building which is integrated with the existing structure through a connector building. The cleanroom is part of Porvair’s strategy to extend manufacturing capacity for industries that demand high purity products, including high purity point of use filters, gasket filters, flow restrictors and diffusers. “We are great believers that investment in our infrastructure, as well as our people, will ensure Porvair has the capability to remain at the forefront of the industry,” said Nelson. “Installing this kind of cuttingedge technology, which all but eliminates contamination, demonstrates to our customers that we are committed to driving further innovations in technology and capabilities that offer leading, cost-effective design solutions.” For further information, visit www.porvairfiltration.com
