In 2000, Camfil, a Europe-based manufacturer of air filters, purchased Farr Co., a U.S.-based manufacturer of air filters, and changed its name to Camfil Farr. Believing the Camfil name to now be well-recognized in the United States, and with operations expanded to Asia and Australia, the company is celebrating its 50-year anniversary in 2013 by returning to its original name, Camfil.

Described by a colleague as "a cyborg ... requir(ing) virtually no sleep, no time off, and bland nourishment that can be consumed while at his desk" who was sent "back from the future not to terminate anyone, but with the prime directive 'to edit dry technical copy' in order to save the world at a later date," Scott Arnold joined the editorial staff of HPAC Engineering in 1999. Prior to that, he worked as an editor for daily newspapers and a specialty-publications company. He has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Kent State University.
