RICHMOND, Va., December 5, 2008 – Koves Technologies completed Website design and development for Filtrona Porous Technologies (formerly Filtrona Fibertec) last month, a division of Filtrona plc and premier creator and manufacturer of custom fluid and vapor handling components.

The Filtrona Porous Technologies Website features innovative Flash technology, a customized Content Management System (CMS), and rich content, including an array of animated product demonstrations and tours and multi-language site replication in English, Spanish, German, Japanese and Chinese.

“We needed a firm that was flexible to our uniqueness, yet able to creatively capture the ‘ah-ha!’ factor behind our products,” said Matthew Robida, Filtrona Porous Technologies Marketing Manager. “Koves Technologies has shown us that they can provide the right mix of energy and creativity necessary to communicate the value of our products to potential customers.”

Originally hired in 2007, Koves Technologies developed Phase 1 of the Website under the company’s pre-acquisition name “Filtrona Fibertec,” and subsequently re-branded multiple areas of the site in Phase 2 as the company transitioned into “Filtrona Porous Technologies” (via the acquisition of Lendell Manufacturing, Inc.). Koves Technologies articulated the acquisition through the newly designed Website.

“Filtrona Porous Technologies is a valued-added custom component manufacturer that needed to get its message across to a diverse global audience,” said Jeff Shugart, Executive Vice President of Commercial Development. “We feel that Koves Technologies, through their business acumen, creativity and technical capability, understands how to translate that complex message on a global scale.”

In support of building an India-based team of core executives, Koves Technologies Private Ltd. has expanded its in-house staff to include a Senior Project Manager, Senior Developer, Marketing Manager and Business Development Manager.

“We are proud of our achievements, although we are not content just yet, for our vision is to be known as the top-ranking Web design and development firm in the world,” said Sudhandra Ranganathan, Co-Director of Koves Technologies Private Ltd. “We are committed to fast-paced growth not only in India, but also on a global-scale.” Ms. Ranganathan added. As an important milestone in its growth, the company will be obtaining ISO 9000 certification by the 1st quarter 2009, which certifies that formalized business processes are being followed throughout a project’s lifecycle.

“The relocation, expansion and certification of our development center in India marks our presence in one of the most important technology hubs in the world,” Mr. Koves remarked. “India was chosen for its qualified technical competencies and its compatibility in regards to American culture. For our clients, this translates into a reduction of risks, superior quality and savings on their technology solutions.”
