United States. Camfil Air Pollution Control (APC), a manufacturer of air filtration systems, announces the construction of a new manufacturing plant in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to replace its previous building that was destroyed by a tornado in March. The new factory and office space will be located in Craighead Technology Park. The expected date for its completion is the beginning of 2022.
Committed to continuing development in the area, Camfil APC has operated in Jonesboro for over 20 years, providing jobs, investing in the local economy and contributing to the community. Since the tornado, the company has been conducting manufacturing operations at a rented local facility. Sales offices, filter cartridge production, storage and shipping were not damaged. All these functions will be transferred to the new facility.
"We are grateful to everyone who has helped us move this new production facility forward and make this new production facility possible, especially our parent company, Camfil Group, for dedicating the resources to help us rebuild. We also thank the City of Jonesboro, the Jonesboro Chamber of Commerce, Fisher Arnold architects, our dedicated employees, our extremely supportive customers and the people of Jonesboro," said Graeme Bell, Vice President of Camfil APC Americas.
