Facilities Expansion

(Spring 2008)

Peridot has outgrown its current facilities and will be undergoing a complete facilities renovation and expansion this spring. 
 
By expanding the current facilities from 18,000 sq. ft. to 30,000 sq. ft., Peridot will be able to consolidate their operations in one facility, as well as relocate their Class 10000 clean room to the expanded facilities.
 
The expansion presents Peridot with an opportunity to optimize workflow and processes, and Peridot has hired consultants to determine this optimization. 
 
In addition to offering the market more capabilities, the expansion may also allow Peridot the luxury of dedicated customer-specific assembly areas.  
 
Peridot will not close at all during the renovation and expansion.
 
The renovation and expansion will be completed in the spring of 2008, and Peridot expects to occupy the updated facilities in late spring or early summer.
