Germany: Indian filter manufacturer Himenviro has invested in Intensiv-Filter & Co KG. On 1 October 2012 Himenviro acquired around 60 employees at Intensiv-Filter's Velbert-Langenberg site. The German industrial dust specialist declared insolvency in May 2012.
"The competence and experience of the Intensiv-Filter team combined with the technical know-how of the investor has set the course for a long-term successful filter technology company," said temporary insolvency trustee Dr Marc d'Avoine. Part of the agreement between the insolvency administrator and the Himenviro was to maintain the employment of Intensiv-Filter's experienced workforce.
