PI increases production space at HQ by 11,000 sq ft

Rising global demand for semiconductor chips requires investments in equipment that is needed for chip production. To meet these needs, ultra-precision motion control, nanopositioning, and precision automation equipment Physik Instrumente (PI) has increased its production space.

PI products frequently find use in critical production processes of the latest generation of semiconductors, optics and photonics components. To satisfy the growing need for these motion control products, PI continues to expand its production facilities at multiple locations around the world. The most recent addition was a new building at PI’s HQ in Karlsruhe Germany.

The new building allows PI to convert office space in its main building into production space to increase manufacturing output of high precision motion control, robotics, and nanopositioning products. It provides an extension of the existing production area by another 11,000 square feet.

This new investment is part of PI’s global initiative to increase output and reduce delivery times for critical high-performance positioning and automation products and solutions for global markets such as semiconductor technology, laser processing, automation and robotics, medical technology, and aerospace.
