Camfil Air Pollution Control (APC), a leading global manufacturer of dust, fume and mist collection equipment, reports that Alan O'Connell has been appointed executive vice president in charge of worldwide operations.
O'Connell is uniquely qualified to direct the continued growth of the dust collection business, having served with Camfil APC's parent company, the Camfil Group (Stockholm, Sweden) for more than three decades. O'Connell was president and CEO of the Camfil Group for 12 years, stepping down from that post in late 2013 to serve in a senior advisory capacity. During his tenure, Camfil grew to 3700 employees worldwide and expanded into the North American HVAC and dust collection markets. It is today the largest air filtration company in the world, with 50 subsidiaries on four continents.
