Ribbon cutting showcases new equipment, doubling of square footage
On May 27th, Niche Electronics celebrated the completion of its latest expansion project with a ribbon cutting at its Sarasota, Florida, location.
Attendees included members of the Greater Sarasota Chamber, manufacturing associations, customers, and Niche staff and their guests.
The expansion includes an increase of its production area by 50%, the enhancement of HVAC, lighting, and filtration systems, and the addition of leading-edge etching and inspection equipment. At 20,000 square feet, the expansion moves even closer to the uniform outfitting of all three Niche Electronics locations: Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Florida.
In his remarks, Niche CEO Frank Bowman cited expected growth in the aerospace, defense, and medical sectors as the deciding factor in the decision to expand and upgrade. He also credited all in attendance for the expansion’s success, and the continued, steady growth of the company.
“We couldn’t have done this without our employees, our customers, and the community,” Bowman said. “Growth takes intention and a willingness to invest in something before you can fully see it. That’s what we’ve done here, and we’re just getting started.”
The Sarasota expansion represents more than just a growth in its overall footprint: it also represents the addition of leading-edge new equipment, including a Vanstron S-46OS-CO2 laser etcher and a Yamaha YSI-V automated optical inspection (AOI) system.
Niche maintains redundant sites in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Florida, enabling the company to shift production in the event of service interruptions. The three strategically located facilities also give Niche an optimal geographical reach, enabling personalized service to hundreds of high-tech customers within a three-hour drive.
