A company promising "clean air for life" to guard against aerosol transmission of viruses is creating 195 new jobs in Scotland with the opening of a £9 million production facility.
Innova NanoJet Technologies is locating its first manufacturing plant in Scotland which will initially produce the company's CDa product series, a filter-less air purification system that uses ultra-fine droplet sprays to effectively and efficiently clean and disinfect indoor air. The series includes versions for businesses, private homes and large public indoor spaces.
The investment is being supported by a package of funding from Scottish Enterprise, including a grant of £1.5m.
“Thirty years after my graduation from the University of Strathclyde, I’m very thrilled to be back in Scotland to commence the production of our Innova NanoJet Technologies Ltd’s first commercialisation product that will revolutionise indoor air cleaning and disinfection which will benefit billions of people in the world," said Charles Huang, the company's chairman and chief executive.
"With Scottish Enterprise’s continued support, we look forward to developing and launching more innovative products and solutions for the world.”
Reuben Aitken, managing director of international operations at Scottish Enterprise, added: “It’s fantastic to see a young, innovative company like Innova NanoJet Technologies invest almost £9m in Scotland.
"Not only will this allow the business to scale quickly, it also means a significant number of new jobs created for local communities over the next few years."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
