NEW BROOKS AUTOMATION TAIWAN OFFICE OPENS

On June 22nd the Taiwan office relocated to a new building in Chupei, Hsinchu County. The new office is situated nearby to the old Brooks office and will house all the Brooks Taiwan employees; including sales, service, GUTS® Taiwan and the repair center. This new building will enable us to remodel our Cryopump repair center to bring it up to date and in line with the other service centers. It will be configured to meet today's needs such as increasing the P300 and On-Board® IS repair output. In addition, Brooks will open a new robot reconfiguration center in this new office in December of 2007. These initiatives are part of Brooks' commitment to you. They will improve local repair capabilities and cycle times.
