HENDERSON COUNTY – Henderson County’s robust manufacturing community continues to strengthen with the recent announcement from SELEE Corporation, a division of Porvair plc. As the pioneer in metal filtration technology, SELEE has chosen to expand their production and facilities in Henderson County. The company has locations in the United States and globally and will invest $7 million in their Hendersonville location including $4.5 million in personal property improvements. This expansion will retain over 110 jobs with an average wage of $70,350, more than 30% above the county-wide average wage.

SELEE pioneered the use of ceramic foam technology in metal filtration. As a result of this commitment to innovation, SELEE remains consistently at the forefront of the latest developments in filtration, melt treatment and transfer processes for molten metals of all types. The company provides critical products supporting the food & beverage, aerospace, and automotive industries.

This project is being supported with an economic development assistance grant from Henderson County.  These incentives provide financial assistance to companies expanding or relocating to Henderson County and are based on job creation and capital investment. Companies receive no money upfront, must meet established targets, and pay taxes before receiving any grant payment.
