Howorth Air Technology has opened a new division that specialises in researching and developing products for the healthcare sector.
Headquartered in the UK, Howorth Air Technology, designs, manufactures, and assembles ultra-clean air equipment for use in operating theatres, and for the pharma, biotechnology, and life science industries.
The new department will spearhead the design and implementation of new products for operating theatres at both NHS and private hospitals as well as the commissioning and handover of equipment.
Howorth Air Technology is currently installing more than 30 ultra-clean ventilation systems in operating theatres across the UK and its new medical technical team is working on barn theatre projects in the UK and overseas.
