With the launch of a new 50,000-square-foot production facility at its Morrisville headquarters, Gelest, a Mitsubishi Chemical Group company, marks a significant milestone. The new building will increase the company’s production capabilities and support customer applications from microelectronics and medical devices to advanced thermal coatings and mobility.

“Our main focus will be to develop and manufacture precursor chemicals for use in dry resist EUV lithography, ensuring a robust supply,” said Edward Kimble, Senior Business Director / General Manager, Gelest. Dry resist EUV technology is an advanced semiconductor manufacturing technique poised to propel the next generation of logic and Dram technologies for the semiconductor market.

Located on a revitalized U.S. EPA Brownfield site, the new production facility will feature state-of-the-art equipment designed for analysis, packaging, and high volume manufacturing of highly specialized chemistries to support advanced technology markets. To assure quality and chemical purity, the facility incorporates a 3,000-square-foot, ISO 7 clean room with advanced analytical instrumentation.

The addition of the new production facility underpins Gelest’s ongoing expansion in Morrisville. In 2001 the company established its Morrisville headquarters, which now comprises production, R&D and administration operations. The new facility extends the company’s footprint to nine buildings in Morrisville, eight on-site.
