We will be combining the strengths of our companies to offer our customers a complete solution for air extraction and filtration.”
“Traditionally, Filtermist has been known for its oil mist extraction capabilities – the acquisitions we have made so far mean that as a company we are now able to offer dust and fume extraction, VOC abatement, odour control, solvent recovery and more.''
