Astro Pak, a North American supplier of precision cleaning and passivation services for the medical device, semiconductor, laser and biopharmaceutical industries, has appointed Gordon Hanscom as General Manager of the Downey Cleanroom in California.
Hanscom takes responsibility for overseeing the operations in the cleanroom facility, including production and quality personnel departments. He will also be working with Human Resources to help develop staff at the facility.

His past experience in leadership and management roles are expected to contribute to his role at Astro Pak.
