Aerotech continues its expansion and doubles its A
cleanroom capacity Simon Smith, Aerotech European Director. The new 600m² cleanroom will expanded to ISO class 6 with cell-specifi c areas of ISO class 5. Additional investments will be made in cleanroom clothing, work equipment, tools and complete product ranges. The expansion is a continuation of a multi-year investment in facilities and operational capacity that began in 2018.
erotech, manufacturer of high-performance motion
control and positioning systems and automation solutions, is responding to increasing global demand by further expanding its headquarters in Pittsburgh. Following the recent expansion of the production area and the purchase of additional systems and machines, the cleanroom area is now doubled, benefi ting the branches in Germany and Great Britain. The subsidiary Kiski Precision Industries (KPI), a supplier of mechanical components, just announced the acquisition of the neighbouring company Alpha Carb Enterprises (ACE), which more than doubles the operating space to 79,500m2
.
With a broad product range specialising in nanometre positioning, Aerotech has carved out a solid niche in the fi eld of high-precision motion control over the past 50 years. Aerotech Ltd, UK, and Aerotech GmbH in Fürth, Franconia, were the fi rst European subsidiaries to drive the international expansion of the medium-sized US company. In the meantime, the company has grown to some 500 employees worldwide. The spectrum of industries ranges from medical technology and life science applications, to photonics, semiconductor manufacturing, automotive and data storage, to laser processing, aerospace and measurement and testing technology.
“Many of our customers come
from highly regulated industries with high process requirements. To keep the amount of airborne particles, particulates or germs as low as possible, sensitive products such as catheters or lenses are manufactured exclusively in cleanrooms. In the interest of our customers, we also ensure constant conditions and avoid any contamination during the production of our positioning systems. We take our manufacturer obligations very seriously,” said
