Porvair adds state-of-the-art cleanroom to expanded Caribou plant

The filter company has invested in a class 100 clean room to ensure its products for the microelectronic and semiconductor markets are free from contamination.

The clean room is part of Porvair’s strategy to extend manufacturing capacity for industries that demand high purity products, including high purity point of use filters, gasket filters, flow restrictors and diffusers.

“We are great believers that investment in our infrastructure, as well as our people, will ensure Porvair has the capability to remain at the forefront of the industry,” said Kevin Nelson, president of Porvair in the USA.

“Installing this kind of cutting-edge technology, which all but eliminates contamination, demonstrates to our customers that we are committed to driving further innovations in technology and capabilities that offer leading, cost-effective design solutions.”

The Caribou site also now has a modern, two-storey building which is integrated with the existing structure through a connector building.
