HATFIELD, Pa. (Dec. 15, 2010) - Brooks Instrument, a world-leading provider of advanced flow, pressure and level solutions opened the doors to its new cleanroom manufacturing facility yesterday at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at its headquarters in Hatfield, Pa. The new Class 100 cleanroom will serve primarily as the production area for Brooks' GF Series ultra high-purity mass flow controllers for the high tech and electronics industry.
"This is the largest investment Brooks Instrument has ever made in its manufacturing facilities worldwide," said Clark Hale, chief executive officer of Brooks Instrument. "It signifies us taking major strides into the electronics industry and our commitment to the future growth of Brooks."
Brooks' 2009 acquisition of Celerity's Instrumentation Division led to the need for larger cleanroom manufacturing operations of the GF Series and other devices for the electronics market. The increased demand for consumer products requiring semiconductors such as high-brightness LEDs, smartphones and tablet computers is also driving Brooks' foray into the industry.
To help support its new cleanroom operations, Brooks added close to 100 jobs at its Hatfield offices in 2010.
