Since 2011, the company has seen its export sales rise by 140%, amounting to 69 per cent of its total sales from its UK operations.

The significant increase in export was due to the company's success in markets such as coal gasification in Asia, Bioscience and Nuclear in the USA and general industrial process filtration in Europe.
