Halma wins Chinese business award

International market leader in safety, health and sensor technology Halma has won the Innovation Award at the British Business Awards in Shanghai, China.

The award recognizes the achievements of Halma's subsidiaries operating in China who, between them, have introduced over 130 innovative products to the Chinese market since 2006.

Over 20 Halma subsidiaries now operate in China in industries as diverse as water treatment and testing, industrial safety, photonics, laboratory instrumentation and health.

Organized by the British Chambers of Commerce in China, the British Business Awards recognize and promote excellence in innovation, enterprise and endeavor in the British business community in China.

The Innovation Award recognizes organizations that are committed to research and development and introducing innovative and sustainable technology with practical applications.

The judges were particularly impressed by the broad sweep of applications to which Halma's products are being used in China, such as UV water disinfection systems from Hanovia, which have transformed the Chinese bottled water industry by offering chemical-free disinfection.
