Epichem expands with new production facility in Massachusetts (Materials and Equipment)
Epichem has announced plans to build a new $5 million facility in Massachusetts for the production of metalorganic compounds. The company opened its plant in Haverhill, MA, in December 1997, but has found it necessary to build an additional facility due to the "rapid expansion of the compound semiconductor industry." Construction will begin next month with a completion date targeted for April 2002. The two-level complex will have over 30 000 sq. ft of production and office space.
