A Somerset-based air filter manufacturer is extending its headquarters in Bridgwater to help cover growing demand for its products globally.
Family-owned Jasun Envirocare is spending £300,000 to add to its Riverside House premises as part of its ongoing growth plans, it said.
The company employs more than 200 people at its UK operational sites in the town and in Waterlooville, in Hampshire, and also has factories and offices in Europe.
Jasun Envirocare’s chair, Graham Bentley, said: “We’ve seen demand for our products grow dramatically from Europe in the last few years, particularly since setting up operations in France in 2014 and Spain in 2018.
“Our new building at Riverside will help us meet international requests for our products, speed up the process and allow us to sell more too.”
Mr Bentley said the firm’s two subsidiary companies in Europe had helped the business “significantly” increase its export work, despite issues related to Brexit.
“At Riverside we’re building a 2,300 square feet extension purely for export despatch. It is being managed by our main contractor, Salter Civils and Groundworks and we’re hoping it will be completed and operational in the spring,” he added.
“This extension and financial investment symbolises our commitment to our international market and to Bridgwater, as this represents a boost to the local economy.”
Jasun Envirocare provides a complete range of standard and bespoke, filters and systems, including air purifiers, air filters, panel filters, washables, kitchen canopy grease filters, and HEPA filters.
