UV disinfection specialist Hanovia has won the 2014 ‘Great British Product’ award at this year’s British Business Awards in Beijing, China for its PharmaLine and PureLine range of UV disinfection systems.
“This is the first time we have won this award and we are absolutely delighted. It is a great recognition of the quality and reliability of our UV technology,” commented Wang Tao, Hanovia’s China General Manager.
Organised by the British Chamber of Commerce in China and the China-Britain Business Council, the British Business Awards recognise and promote excellence in innovation, enterprise and endeavour in the British and Chinese business communities.
They highlight organisations who are achieving outstanding results and who demonstrate commitment to trade and investment in China. The Awards have grown in stature since the inaugural edition in 2008 to become a prestigious feature of the business calendar in China.
Hanovia’s PharmaLine and PureLine disinfection systems stood out from rivals as they are designed very specifically to provide effective water disinfection in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries, where effective disinfection is essential and driven by legislation.
Mr Wang continued:
“As a leading UV company Hanovia is dedicated to continuous innovation. Since we entered the Chinese market in 2005 we have successively launched a number of innovative products for the Chinese food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, winning unanimous praise from industry experts. This makes us extremely proud of the work we do.
“This year also saw us celebrate Hanovia’s 90th anniversary, so it’s a very special time for the company. We recently established an Asia Pacific UV Application R&D Centre in Shanghai and we will continue to innovate and provide better and safer UV technology to the Chinese food & beverage industry.”
Based in the United Kingdom, with offices in the USA and China and a worldwide distributor network, Hanovia is a world leader in UV disinfection technology for industrial applications.
