A £2.5 million investment in a new factory is already paying dividends for a filter firm.
Camfil has secured a clutch of new contracts since it moved into a new factory on the Knowsley Parkway in Haslingden last autumn.
The move has also seen the workforce increase and there are plans for further recruitment, to add to the 145 strong workforce.
"The new factory and headquarters provide exciting opportunities to expand the company," said managing director Brian Taylor.
Camfil manufactures air filters for a wide range of applications including the micro-electronics and pharmaceuticals industry and hospitals.
It is part of the Swedish-based Camfil group, the world's largest manufacturer of air filters.
