SÜSS MicroOptics Shifts To A New Production Plant
SÜSS MicroOptics S.A., Neuchâtel, Switzerland, a fully owned subsidiary of SÜSS MicroTec AG, has relocated production facilities in Neuchâtel.
SÜSS MicroOptics is a supplier for high-quality refractive and diffractive micro-optics.
The know-how comprises profound experience in optical design, micro-fabrication and metrology. The company provides high quality components through manufacturing techniques, based on 200mm wafer technology in quartz and silicon.
SÜSS MicroOptics is up and coming and had a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 percent over the last decade.
To account for the continuously growing business and to bring the cleanroom facilities to a state of the art level, the relocation into a new production facility was necessary. The new cleanroom facilities are purpose-built and perfectly support the growth strategy of the micro-optics business.
The new cleanroom will be fully operational by mid December 2012 and will give SÜSS MicroOptics the flexibility to increase production capacity and if necessary to switch to a shift system in the future.
"By increasing our ownership in SÜSS MicroOptics to 100% earlier this year and by relocating the operations we have achieved another milestone in focusing and streamlining our strategically important business units. SÜSS MicroOptics with its key lithography technologies has become an integral part of the SÜSS MicroTec group," says Frank P. Averdung, President and CEO of SÜSS MicroTec AG.
