Synova set to unveil new Boston micromachining centre
Synova announced that it will open a second U.S.-based micromachining centre (MMC) in Boston.
Aimed at meeting the high-precision needs of the region's medical, electronics and tooling markets, the Boston MMC is set to open in January 2007, in tandem with the recently announced Silicon Valley-based MMC, strategically addressing the needs of both the West and East Coast hubs of technology innovation. As with all the company's planned MMCs, the Boston MMC is chartered with expanding customer support and adoption of Synova's Laser MicroJet technology.
"Further expansion in the U.S. reinforces our strategy to better support all of our served markets worldwide," said Synova Chief Executive Officer Bernold Richerzhagen. "Proximity to our customers is our top priority, and as we continue to promote the adoption of Laser MicroJet in the medical, electronics and tooling markets, Boston represents an ideal locale to address our U.S. customers' needs quickly and efficiently."
The Boston MMC will serve as a competence centre for demonstration, sample testing and application development to serve these markets, and will feature its LCS 300. Its most versatile tool, the LCS 300 is used for medical applications as well as the electronics market to cut, drill and groove metal masks, including stencils for PCB, wafer bump stencils and screens for flat panel displays.
