Camfil-Farr has the pleasure of announcing that Anders Sundvik, 32, has been appointed new Director of Research and Development for the international Camfil Farr Group, effective today.


Anders Sundvik has been actively engaged in R&D for the Group since 2002. During his career with Camfil Farr, he has been R&D Project Manager at the corporate development department in Trosa, Sweden (2003-2007), as well as R&D Project Engineer/Senior R&D Project Manager for the North American development team at Camfil Farr in Riverdale, New Jersey, in the U.S. (2007-2009).

Since he joined the Group, Anders has been a driving force behind the development of several recently released Camfil Farr air filtration products, including the energy-saving Hi-Flo XL and Durafil ES filters, the compact Riga-V and our new range of pandemic barrier filters.

Anders holds a Master's Degree in Engineering, with a major in production engineering, from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm (2002). He has also studied mechanical engineering at the University of Hanover in Germany (1999-2000).

Continuing a strong tradition
"Research and development is an embedded tradition at Camfil Farr and we invest more resources in R&D than any other air filtration systems manufacturer. We congratulate Anders on his new position. He will now head a key corporate function backed by our world-class filtration experts and some of the best-equipped laboratories in the world for filter performance testing and air quality analysis," says Alan O'Connell, CEO of the Camfil Group.

"It is with great honour and respect that I accept this challenge to lead and coordinate Camfil Farr's R&D operations on a corporate level," comments Anders Sundvik. "Our international R&D organization, with strong regional teams in Europe, North America and Asia, will continue Camfil Farr's mission to develop clean air management services and products of increasingly attractive and competitive value to customers, as well as the best filter solutions in the market in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency."

Anders Sundvik succeeds Lennart Karlsson, who has left the Group to pursue a career outside Camfil Farr.
