Micro-Mesh Filtration celebrates half a century

20 April, 2018

Primarily established in 1968 to supply filtration products into the coal industry, Micro-Mesh Filtration has progressed over the years by continually investing in new plant and machinery. At the demise of the coal, the company has expanded successfully into new industries by producing quality products for a reasonable price. In 2014, Micro-Mesh Filtration moved to its present premises, and since then continuous developments were implemented in its product range and manufacturing processes. One year later, Micro-Mesh Filtration’s exporting market was expanded by setting up Micro-Mesh India, to allow the company back into mining. In 2016 the company purchased the Eurofilter.

Doubled turnover

Micro-Mesh Filtration expanded its market into the power generating and air filter industries, which had the immediate effect on the company by doubling its turnover. As a consequence of such expansion, staff levels had to be increased by 25% and the company’s exporting activity had increased to 36 countries around the world.

As a result of continuous investment in technology and innovation, Micro-Mesh Filtration is in the process of completing an extension to its present premises by another 10.000 sq ft. Additionally, a more effective new range of medias for both hydraulic and air filters, ExtraPlus Media, will reportedly benefit customers by giving them a 25% increase in filter performance.

James Underwood, manager director at Micro-Mesh, said: “Sometimes it takes 5,10,15 years to make a substantial leap forward, but most of the time the reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more.”
