Feb. 9, 2007 — Independent MEMS microfabrication company Micralyne Inc. has broken ground on a facility expansion that will increase its manufacturing capacity to accommodate a growing customer base.

The expansion includes 10,000 sq ft of new manufacturing space in the existing building with Class 10 and Class 1000 clean rooms for silicon MEMS fabrication, testing, and assembly. This increases Micralyne’s Class 10 clean room space by 70% and Class 1000 space by 50%, and positions Micralyne for continued revenue growth.

An extension for additional offices and meeting rooms is also under construction.

“The push behind our expansion is due to an increase in customer demand as well as the need to relieve congestion within our existing clean rooms”, said Chris Lumb, President & CEO of Micralyne. “We will be able to serve the needs of our current customers plus have strategic capacity available for prospective customers who are considering outsourcing their current MEMS production”.

Lumb added that Micralyne’s revenues have grown steadily and its employee base has more than doubled since 2005, to 175. “Furthermore, with the new space, we will have the room to add new equipment for an even broader product and service offering,” he added.

Expected completion date is October 2007.
