Asian infrastructure investments
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. have made important investments in its product service and support infrastructure in Taiwan, China and Singapore by opening three new class 1000 cleanrooms to better support its mass flow controller (MFC) customers in Asia. The new Hsinchu, Taiwan, facility, which opened in April 2002, contains a 50m² class 1000 cleanroom dedicated to Aera flow product service and support. The new cleanrooms in Singapore and the Pudong area of Shanghai, China, will open in the third quarter of 2002. Each will contain a class 1000 cleanroom for Aera flow product service and support. "MFC customers with high-tech production facilities in major industrial areas require cleanroom service capability as near to their facilities as possible," said Chris Near, Advanced Energy's director of Asian operations. "These new cleanrooms in Asia let us provide extremely rapid turnaround for flow product service. In addition, we're now positioned to continually grow our support capability for power, thermal, source and data management products in these critical customer locations."
