Surrey firm prepares for South African energy expo

3rd June 2025

Process filters and housings made in Surrey are set to feature in South Africa at a major industry event for the global energy industry.

Amazon Filters, a Camberley-based manufacturer and exporter, will highlight the benefits of its products at the forthcoming African Petrochemicals & Energy roadshow.

The one-day event, in Secunda, South Africa, on 31 July 2025, is designed to bring delegates together from across the petrochemical, oil and gas and energy sectors.

Many attendees will come from supply chain businesses offering equipment, services and solutions to worldwide energy producers.

Amazon Filters is represented at the show by long-standing regional distributor partner National Separations (Natsep), whose team will demonstrate technical aspects of the filters and housings and explain their efficiency and sustainability benefits.

Headquartered in Johannesburg and with marketing, sales, distribution and service hubs in Cape Town, Durban and Gqeberha, Natsep provides a range of solutions involving Amazon Filters products.

Core activities include laboratory water purification, process filtration technologies for clarification and sterilisation, and microbial and particle quality control testing.

Padrig O’Hara, Amazon Filters’ Project Specialist for the oil and gas sectors, said the products on display at Secunda will include sustainable polypropylene versions of flagship filter ranges.

Padrig said: “We aim to highlight how our design capabilities create advanced filter vessels and internal components that can aid critical filtration processes in the oil and gas, energy and renewables sectors.

“We provide essential filtration technology and energy-efficient solutions that enhance efficiency, performance and sustainability.”

It is the second year in a row that Amazon Filters and Natsep have partnered on a presence at a major South African energy industry expo.

In October 2024, the firms exhibited jointly at The Sasolburg Petrochemicals & Energy roadshow at Stonehaven on Vaal, Vereeniging.

This summer’s Secunda African Petrochemicals & Energy roadshow takes place at the Graceland Hotel, Casino & Country Club. For more information, visit www.africanpetrochemicals.co.za.

"One of the standout aspects of my involvement has been the quality of guest speakers the Chambers bring in. For instance, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Sven Hughes, CEO of Enigma Strategic Communications. His insights into strategic communications have been both enlightening and inspiring, offering new perspectives on how to approach challenges in my own field of communications. Another memorable Executive Roundtable event allowed me to meet Matt Letley, Co-Chair for B Lab’s "B Local Surrey" group, whose passion for fostering responsible business practices resonated with me and many others at the Roundtable. His guidance on how businesses can work towards certification while also strengthening community ties was invaluable. The Executive Roundtable has given me far more than just professional connections—it’s fostered a space where I can exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and celebrate successes with like-minded peers. Surrey Chambers of Commerce is a pivotal organisation in the local business ecosystem, and being a part of it continues to bring me both personal and professional growth." Paul Zimmerman, COO, INV Group.

I attended the Heathrow Summit conference and had the great good fortune of spending some time with Gary Hayes & Andy Willmott who were a real credit to the Chamber. If anyone is wondering whether being a Chamber member could help their business know this, they helped me with their knowledge of local contacts and we're in Cornwall! Thanks for your time fellas and keep up the good work!

I’m proud to be part of such a professional organisation.

I was recently at the Surrey Chambers Power Breakfast at Sandown Park Racecourse what a fantastic venue and breakfast. There was a good group of people, all with ‘can do’ attitudes as well as an engaging speaker. I obtained a number of new contacts and received further networking opportunities. I also felt that I had come from the breakfast having learnt something new which is a big bonus!

Our membership of Surrey Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in the growth of our business. It's opened many doors and so much of our new business can be tied back to a SCC introduction.
