BOFA International is increasing its UK footprint by 25% to meet growing demand for its fume and dust extraction technology.
Designing and producing of fume and dust extraction systems to remove harmful airborne contaminants associated with industrial processes, BOFA has expanded rapidly over the last two years, following a management buy-out, and currently sells its products in over 100 countries.
Work has started on creating an additional 12,000 sq ft of space in the company’s home town of Poole in Dorset to house its corporate functions, along with a research and development centre.
The facility will enable BOFA’s 16-strong R&D team of specialist chartered engineers, technicians and support staff to push new concepts in the development of fume extraction systems.
‘BOFA started out as a small family business 30 years ago and has grown to become a world technology leader,’ said Tony Lockwood, managing director. ‘Throughout this time, our commitment to UK manufacturing has been unwavering and we continue to fly the flag for British innovation through this investment in additional premises in Poole.’
In addition to its UK facilities, BOFA has operations in Germany and the USA.
