Lucent expansion foster cleanrooms

September 11, 2000

AVON, CT — Lucent Technologies Inc. has already added some 75,000 square feet of additional optical fiber manufacturing space to its Somerset, NJ, facility.

Now, it’s the Avon, CT, facility’s turn.

A groundbreaking for the 63,000-square-foot expansion is slated for October. The new addition will include an ISO Class 6 (Class 1000) cleanroom to support new product development initiatives. Additional cleanrooms will be added in the near future, according to Lucent.

Lucent said it is committing significant new resources to specialty fibers, undertaking a $9 million expansion program at its facilities in Avon and Somerset. That’s in addition to the $110 million construction program recently announced at its fiber-optic manufacturing operation in Brondby, Denmark.?Mark A. DeSorbo
