Brewer
Science, Inc., recently announced plans to build a high-volume manufacturing facility in
Vichy, Missouri, to produce materials for manufacturing next-generation
smartphones, tablet computers, and other microelectronic devices. The announcement means new jobs for Missouri
and an expansion of the state's technology footprint. Brewer Science, one of the
world's leading technology companies, is part of the emerging I-44 technology
corridor in Missouri, spanning across the state from St. Louis to Joplin.
The
new facility will be located at the Rolla National Airport, which is
approximately 12 miles from Brewer Science’s headquarters in Rolla,
Missouri. This new investment in the
growth of Brewer Science will provide increased capacity for high-volume
manufacturing of specialty materials that meet the extremely stringent
specifications required by today’s global microelectronics marketplace.
Brewer
Science specializes in technology that has made electronic devices smaller,
thinner, lighter, and more powerful. Under the leadership of Dr. Terry Brewer,
founder and President, Brewer
Science has become a major Missouri employer that has been designing and
manufacturing new technology products since 1981. The expansion will bring additional
high-value manufacturing jobs to the state of Missouri.
“Brewer
Science is excited to be growing and expanding Missouri’s manufacturing
footprint as well as its technology footprint,” says Dr. Brewer. “The expansion demonstrates our commitment to
our customers by providing additional capacity and capabilities to support the
complex product needs of the industry.
Brewer Science technology is a part of products such as smartphones,
tablet computers, cameras, games, and many other electronic devices. The new facility will provide the company
with multiple manufacturing locations in Missouri and will bring additional
jobs to the state.”
Utilizing
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines, the new
facility will be powered using geothermal energy. Designed to be energy-efficient and
environmentally sensitive, with attention to state-of-the-art safety
specifications, the building will have the infrastructure to manufacture
high-volume products that meet or exceed International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) requirements.
Brewer
Science greatly appreciates the team effort put forth by the City of Rolla, the
Rolla Regional Economic Commission, and the Rolla Community Development
Corporation as well as the involvement of Intercounty Electric Cooperative and
the Maries County Commission, all of which helped make this announcement
possible.
