Poole-based BOFA International, a manufacturer of industrial process fume and dust extraction systems, has opened a new office in Hamburg to grow its business in central Europe.

The new office will enable the company to “work more closely with its existing customers throughout Europe, while meeting the increasing demand for new opportunities through both OEM and distribution partners”.

BOFA currently employs 200 people in the UK and 22 operating out of its US facility.

It is supported by a network of distribution partners who help the company to sell its systems to multiple industry sectors in more than 100 countries.

The company, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, won a Queen’s Award earlier this year (pictured).
