AVO Photonics Expands Facilities To Further Support Medical Product Market
HORSHAM, Pa. (October 14, 2005) - With the recent addition of class 100 capable clean space, Avo Photonics, specialists in RF and optical packaging solutions, now offers full-service medical device contract manufacturing support. To meet the design and manufacturing demands of advanced medical product manufacturers, Avo has added 500 square feet of class 100 capable clean space to its existing 6,000 square feet of class 10000 space. In addition to the new clean space, Avo continues to add new design, test and manufacturing tools catered to medical product development.
"There is clearly an unmet demand for design and assembly services for RF and optical products in the medical market," said Mike Vinson, VP of Business Development at Avo Photonics. "The addition of low particle count clean space is critical for manufacturing advanced medical components and a strong complement to our existing capabilities. We now offer significant value-added capabilities to medical customers who need assistance at any point in the design-through-manufacturing spectrum of optical and RF components."
