Hanovia Appoints New Business Manager

UV disinfection specialist Hanovia has appointed Halim Mirza as its new Global Business Manager for the pharmaceutical and healthcare water disinfection markets. Medical applications for Hanovia’s UV technology include disinfecting renal dialysis water and treating the water used to rinse medical instruments following chemical disinfection.

Halim is a Chartered Engineer and a member of the Institute of Chemical Engineers. With a BSc in Chemical Engineering and an MSc in Ion Exchange and Membrane Technology, he has spent his entire career in the water treatment industry. Prior to joining Hanovia he was with Elga Process Waters (part of Veolia Water Systems), where he held various positions in both management and technical sales engineering, and more recently international business development.

“Halim has a wealth of international sales experience in industrial water treatment. He will be focussing on a broad range of industrial markets, but his appointment emphasises in particular our on-going commitment to developing the pharmaceutical and healthcare markets. Halim’s role will be to manage Hanovia’s global industrial distributor network and also strengthen our ties with both OEMs and end-users world-wide, ensuring Hanovia stays at the forefront of the global pharmaceutical and healthcare UV disinfection business,” said Hanovia’s Sales Director Keith Watson.
