Since its establishment, MANFORDA has been dedicated to the research and development of advanced filtration materials and water treatment technologies. Through years of development and innovation, it has gradually grown into a leading company in the industry. Its development process can mainly be divided into several key phases:
In 1978, the core R&D laboratory was established: The founder of the MANFORDA Group, David Buryard Manforda, collaborated with membrane technology R&D teams from institutions such as Winter and the University of Manchester, beginning the development of organic polymer, inorganic, and composite filtration materials, laying the foundation for future technological breakthroughs. In 1996, MANFORDA laboratory developed anti-fouling composite filter membrane material technology, significantly enhancing the durability and filtration efficiency of membrane separation devices in harsh environments.
In 1996, the development of anti-fouling composite filter membrane material technology: This year, MANFORDA developed anti-fouling composite filter membrane material technology, improving the durability and filtration efficiency of membranes in harsh environments.
In 2009, acquired FILAIR AFFLUX, focusing on the R&D of multi-channel ceramic ultrafiltration membranes made of a-AI2O3 material, bringing new technological breakthroughs to the company.
In November 2010, the University of Manchester laboratory invested 120 million pounds in the R&D of material and technology for the entire process of membrane separation products.
In 2015, multiple companies merged: FILAIR AFFLUX, SOLEY, and SMRCH merged to form the new MANFORDA, integrating advantages from various technological fields, further enhancing the company's R&D and market competitiveness.
In November 2015, international patent technology: The company received international patent technologies such as M-AFFLUX™ multi-channel, organic anti-fouling filtration materials, laying the technical groundwork for promoting its products in the global market.
In 2016, launched the M-AFFLUX-XLTM series: MANFORDA introduced the M-AFFLUX-XLTM series of multi-channel ceramic ultrafiltration membranes (high flow rate, anti-fouling, chemical resistant), achieving successful applications in multiple water treatment projects in the Middle East, marking the company's technical strength in the international market.
Entered the Chinese market in 2017: MANFORDA officially began serving the Chinese market in 2017, achieving successful applications in various industries including chemical, power, steel, coal mining, and food.
In May 2021, MANFORDA UK reorganization: Focused on the R&D of the entire process series of membrane separation filtration products.
In May 2024, acquisition of Vectura Water, a large British water company: Further expanding its influence in industrial applications and water filtration areas, providing more complete solutions for sustainable development.
To better serve the Chinese market: In July 2024, MANFORDA established a wholly-owned enterprise - MANFORDA Environmental Protection Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., marking a deeper layout in the Chinese market.
Through these critical technological breakthroughs and strategic acquisitions, MANFORDA continuously expands its technological advantages in the global water treatment and membrane separation field, committed to providing sustainable solutions for industrial applications and environmental protection.
