Washington filtration specialists launch in Japan as part of global expansion

Walker Filtration has launched a new division in Yokohama, Japan, following a period of rapid growth.

As part of a targeted global expansion, the Washington-headquartered air filtration company has previously established successful divisions in Australia and the USA.

Dr Simon Bartram, who has worked with Walker Filtration for a total of five years, will be heading up the Japanese office as Business Unit Leader. His knowledge of the compressed air industry and specifically product development makes him ideally placed to lead the division to success.

Lianne Walker MBE, Group Managing Director said: ’We are excited to be continuing to expand our global horizons with the opening of a new division in Yokohama, Japan. With a confident and experienced team, the division is well positioned to service and grow our client base in Asia-Pacific.“

The company has also re-launched its Corporate Website, which offers improved search functions, enhanced content and optimisation for use on mobile devices.

Lianne continued: “Our new website demonstrates our commitment to the highest standards of quality and manufacturing in a culture driven by our family values.

“It will prove invaluable in terms of identifying individual customer requirements and will help Walker Filtration to target these needs specifically.

“We are excited to be able to offer a website that offers superior user experience and we invite you to start exploring.”
