== Henry ==
One of Numatic's most popular products is a vacuum cleaner called henry. The 'Henry' name and character was conceived by Designer and Illustrator Mike Walsh, after being shown the shape of the machine through an intermediary of Chris Duncan. It is easily distinguishable by the large smiling face on the front of the canister (there's a 3D clip-on face which has eyes and a mouth, and the vacuum's hose forms its nose). A new parking bracket was added in September 2012. Since the introduction of Henry in 1981, over
7 million have been produced worldwide.〔
