BOFA International wins Queen’s Award for Innovation

BOFA has been awarded the prestigious accolade for the development of its Intelligent Operating (iQ) System, which is changing the way that organisations around the world are able to protect the health of employees and improve production processes through more effective extraction of airborne contaminants in the workplace.

Tony Lockwood, managing director of BOFA, commented: “Receiving the Queen’s Award for Innovation is testament to the hard work of everyone at BOFA and to the global success of our technology. It is doubly satisfying that we have achieved this recognition in our 30th anniversary year.”

BOFA was launched in 1987 as a small family business and has developed into a global leader for fume and dust extraction technology, employing over 200 people at its Poole, Dorset headquarters, with offices and warehouses in the USA and more recently, Germany.

The company designs and manufactures advanced systems that safeguard working environments by removing potentially harmful airborne particulate resulting from industrial processes.

The latest Queen’s Award acknowledges the positive impact of the company’s iQ platform, which has introduced performance enhancements, including independent filter status monitoring and remote data analysis, to improve extraction efficiency, reduce the risk of production downtime and lower the lifetime cost of system ownership.
