CleanRooms International debuts in Asia, Europe
Geneva, Switzerland — CleanRooms International, an international magazine from the publishers of CleanRooms magazine targeting the European and Asian contamination control industries, debuts this month at SEMICON/Europa (Geneva, Switzerland) April 15 to 17. The quarterly magazine will focus on contamination control, ultrapure materials and ultraclean process technologies used in the microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, biotech, health care, automotive, and food processing industries, among others.
CleanRooms International was launched in response to explosive growth in the cleanrooms industry in both Europe and Asia. Asia accounted for nearly 50 percent of all new-space cleanroom additions in 1995, making it the fastest-growing region in the cleanrooms industry, according to data from the McIlvaine Co. (Northbrook, IL). The European Community, meanwhile, controls global market share in the bioclean, pharmaceutical and hospital sectors.
The premiere issue focuses on semiconductor processing. Subsequent issues will focus on pharmaceutical contamination control (June), food processing (September), and semiconductor fabs (November).
