Rhodia sells Orelis, its membrane filtration technologies subsidiary

03 Nov 2004 - Rhodia announced the sale of its Orelis subsidiary, specializing in membrane filtration technologies, to the French Novasep group. The transaction is effective as of today.
 
A manufacturer of organic and inorganic membranes, Orelis also provides services for the design and installation of comprehensive membrane-based filtration systems and equipment. The company-which generated net sales of EUR 20m in 2003 and employs a staff of 90 people- mainly serves customers active in the pharmaceutical, biotech, agro-food, automotive, and environmental protection markets.
