RONKONKOMA, N | Posted on March 11th, 2008

"We have completed the acquisition of the new facility where we will be relocating and expanding our First Nano laboratory" stated Leonard Rosenbaum, President of CVD. "The expansion and relocation will allow us to expand our installed equipment options to serve more customers, as well as to install and operate a range of pilot production equipment to accelerate the commercialization of novel nano and solar technologies. We see an increased need for commercialization help in the Nano, Solar, Energy and Semiconductor fields from University/Research, Startup and Established Companies. The relocation of our First Nano laboratory into larger quarters enables us to perform on multiple projects and to expand the capabilities of our current in- house process and equipment research."

"As part of this expansion, we have also expanded our growing marketing and OEM supply relationship with Airgas Specialty Gases, a division of Airgas, Inc. . We welcome the technical support and commitment of Airgas to help First Nano and our customers reach the commercialization stage faster. This is in line with our mission of enabling tomorrow's technologies(TM), today."

"Early involvement in the pilot production stage of a new commercialization effort helps to identify cost-saving opportunities and lower the risk to commercialization," stated Todd Morris, Business Manager for analytical markets and specialty gas equipment for Airgas, Inc. "We will help ensure that key gas supply sources and custom-developed process equipment are qualified and optimized together. The collaboration with First Nano is a further expansion of the successful ongoing marketing and OEM supplier- distributor relationship between Stainless Design Concepts, another division of CVD, and Airgas. The combined SDC/Airgas experience in designing and installing custom-engineered specialty gas distribution systems will be used to support emerging technology market segments."
