Bigger Facility for Macrotron, Enhances eReader Production
May 14, 2010 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
FREMONT, CA — EMS provider Macrotron Systems Inc. moved its Fremont manufacturing facility across town to a former Intel building. The facility offers 40,000 square feet for electronics manufacturing and customization, particularly for the company’s Dittobook eReader production.
The new Silicon Valley location is adjacent to the Fremont Auto Mall. The move includes the entire employee staff along with its manufacturing equipment and support services. The new facility, located at 44235 Nobel Drive, was a formerly Intel building of 75,000 square feet built in 2001 incorporating two DS3 lines for high-speed communications. Currently Macrotron occupies 40,000 square feet with the remaining 35,000 square feet to be subleased.
The Nobel Drive structure increases the ability for Macrotron to expand it existing business and delve into new business areas like the Dittobook eBook reader. The more efficient layout expands the customization capability of Dittobook. The e-Book reader from Dittobook is targeted to those companies looking for a customized product, printed with logo or modified software to the customer’s application.

New efficiencies, thanks to the enhanced layout, will allow Macrotron to be more competitive for the business of Silicon Valley companies.
