Edwards Vacuum LLC (a subsidiary of vacuum and exhaust-abatement equipment maker Edwards Ltd of Crawley, UK) has opened a new customer service and support facility in Chandler, AZ, USA (at 2350 East Germann Road, Suite 30) to provide rapid service, support and applications training to customers in the southwest region.
“Edwards’ vacuum and abatement solutions are integral to manufacturing processes for semiconductors, flat-panel displays, LEDs and solar panels, and the southwest is home to many of our major customers in these industries,” says Scott Balaguer, VP & general manager, Semi North America, Edwards. “The Chandler facility is situated close to our key customers for rapid support and hands-on training,” he adds.
“Edwards is well established in the US and we have a long-term commitment to expand our facilities in conjunction with our growth,” continues Balaguer. “The new Chandler office allows us to grow in a key geography for us. In addition, we recently broke ground on our brand-new Innovation Center and Manufacturing site in Hillsboro, OR, and plan to move in during first-quarter 2019.”
Edwards North America has seven locations and employs over 697 people in the USA. The Chandler office will have about 30 staff.
