RISLEY manufacturer Croft Filter has achieved record sales marking a 20 per cent year-on-year increase.

Established more than 28 years ago, the company, based at Taylor Business Park posted record figures in nine out of 12 months between August 2013 and July 2014.

The most successful, December 2013 saw a 150 per cent increase in sales compared to the same month in 2012.

As well as improving research and development, Crofts growth has been supported by the business’ £500,000 investment in a state-of-the-art additive manufacturing, or 3D printing machine, and the launch of specialist company, Croft Additive Manufacturing.

Director Neil Burns said: “We remain committed to developing this technology.”
