Biotal receives backing for £300,000
expansion
Biotal Technologies (UK) Ltd turned to Finance
Wales for investment when it wanted to establish a new research and
development facility in Wales.
Specialising in the development of new technologies for its
existing markets in washroom hygiene and the marine industry,
Biotal Technologies has already developed world leading natural
germicides for sanitary waste and environmentally sensitive
products for treating waste generated on board ships.
With £100,000 investment from Finance Wales, the company will use
its new Cardiff base to focus on its worldwide R&D and the
development of global sales. The combined investment into the new
facility will total more than £300,000
“The investment from Finance Wales was an important element to this
latest phase,” said David apjohn-Williams of Biotal Technologies
(UK) Ltd.
One of the company's products, Biosan P plus, is already
effectively protecting customers using sanitary disposal units. It
uses natural plant extracts to control potentially harmful
micro-organisms in the waste allowing for safe disposal in a manner
that will not harm the environment.
Michael Owen, investment manager at Finance Wales, said: “Biotal
Technologies has the potential for high growth within the UK,
European and global markets and is continuously developing new,
natural ways of dealing with waste associated products. Our
investment will ensure a firm foundation for its future
growth.”
