Camfil Appoints New Vice President

Camfil Air Pollution Control (APC; Jonesboro, AR) has appointed Graeme Bell to the position of vice president of Camfil APC Americas. Bell will relocate from Europe to their corporate headquarters in Jonesboro, where he will hold full responsibility for the manufacturing, technical and training facility, as well as North and South American sales operations for their dust, mist and fume collection products. “I very much look forward to leading the business in the Americas and delivering substantial growth in line with our global strategic initiatives,” said Bell, who will report to Christian Debus, the global executive vice president of the company.

In the four years since Bell joined the company, they have promoted him to a succession of sales and general management posts in Europe.
