AFOS Congratulated On Success By Duke Of YorkThe success of AFOS in providing solutions to the medical and pharmaceutical industries across the world has been recognised by HRH the Duke of York.
The Duke toured AFOS’s £1m state of the art production centre and congratulated the company on its export achievements.
AFOS designs and builds specialised equipment for use in mortuaries, laboratories and the pharmaceutical sector.
It regularly exports equipment worth in excess of £2m a year and is particularly strong in the Middle East, USA, South Africa and Europe.
The Duke’s visit comes just months after Hull based AFOS announced a major expansion with the company’s shareholders acquiring Envair – a Lancashire based company which specialises in clean air and containment facilities for healthcare, laboratories and the pharmaceutical industry.
The Duke inspected a range of equipment currently in production including a drum sampling booth being built for a pharmaceutical client in Ireland on behalf of Envair and disection and autopsy tables for the hospital market.
Mike Sutton, Executive Chairman of AFOS said: “AFOS has been winning a reputation for providing effective solutions to the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors worldwide and the Duke’s visit reinforces our position as well as giving a boost to everyone involved with the company.”
Mr Sutton added: “The interest shown by the Duke is an indication of the progress that has been made over the last five years.
“We are constantly developing new markets and we are currently planning a major sales drive in Australia and New Zealand.
“We are especially grateful to the support that we have received from UK Trade and Investment, Yorkshire Forward and Business Link Humber which has enabled our export drive to be so successful.”
