Wanted: New Manufacturing Facilities
December 31, 1969 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
SAN DIEGO - Qtron Inc., a privately held CM, announced plans to move to a new site in San Diego. Increased levels of PCB assembly sales, coupled with customer pressure to provide system integration solutions, are the reasons sited for the move to larger and more efficient quarters.
The company currently occupies two locations - a total of 45,000 sq. ft. - and employs 250. The new site requirements are for 125,000 to 150,000 sq. ft. The new facility is projected to house a 40,000 sq. ft. system integration assembly area, have 30,000 sq. ft. for materials storage/kitting, offer 15,000 sq. ft. for surface mount equipment, have 15,000 sq. ft. for assembly operations, dedicate 15,000 sq. ft. to in-circuit test (ICT) and functional electrical test, use 30,000 sq. ft. for administration, and save 5,000 sq. ft. for shipping/receiving. Qtron`s goal is to locate a campus-style setting that will also provide for future growth.
"We must provide a scalable manufacturing platform allowing our customers to seize new opportunities and support their aggressive growth," said Lynn Brock, president and CEO. "Southern California and particularly San Diego provide significant growth opportunities for Qtron. This growth, matched with the skilled labor pool we find here, has created an ideal climate for our commitment to this new facility."
