Filtermax has moved Replacement air filter specialist, Filtermax has moved to a new site in the Midlands, at Stone in Staffordshire, UK. The move combines under one roof the facilities of Filtermax with Micronair Filters for the first time. Micronair was acquired by F’iltermax in 1991 to strength-en manufacturing capacity for replacement air filters. An additional benefit of the move is that orders for nextday delivery can be taken right up to mid-afternoon. This is possible since the new location is very close to the distribution hub for the major
tration products, according to a new report from Frost & Sullivan entitled Z&e US Market for Industrial Liquid Filter Products Comprising Hyperfiltration through Macrofiltration which projects a 40% rise from 1991 sales of $1.24 billion to $1.73 billion in 1995. Demand for reverse osmosis national carriers, enabling collections to be m&de several hours later than before. Planning for the move has been going on for many months, with the installation of a new multi-tier racking system in a building which boasts single-level storage and packing facilities. The company had been based at Bloxwlch in the West Midlands since its formation, but has now out-grown the facilities offered by its original site. The new address is: FiRermax, 20 Whitebridge Ind Est, Whifebridge Lane, Stone, Staffs, ST15 8LQ, UK. Fax: +44 (0) 785 816635.
systems also known as hyperfiltration systems is expected to jump 58% from $124 million in 1991 to $196 million in 1995. The forecast anticipates expansion of both traditional applications, such as preparation of ultrapure process water, and newer uses like biotechnology separations. In all cases, the performance advantages of reverse-osmosis will gain it market share at the expense of older separation technologies. Although reverse osmosis will grow faster than ultrafiltration, microfiltration and macrofiltration, it will lag slightly behind other membrane technologies, for which which a 62% increase is predicted. Most of the growth from $69 million in 1991 to $112 million in 1995 will be due to the rise of affinity membranes. Frost & Sullivan Inc, 706 F&on Street, New York, NY 10038, USA.
