Sterling completes significant cleanroom expansion

Published: 7-Sep-2015

ISO-certified space will serve company’s expansion needs for defence and medical clientele


US-based Sterling Manufacturing has completed an extensive expansion of its ISO-certified Class 8 cleanroom. The project will better accommodate the needs of Sterling's growing core of clientele and is focused on meeting the high standards required for custom injection moulding projects in both the medical and defence industries.

Sterling's multimillion-dollar cleanroom expansion project in Lancaster, MA, USA, has been completed ahead of schedule, allowing the company to quickly scale-up its operations in a sustainable way, to support new projects requiring a superior standard of fabrication.

With company revenue more than doubling since 2011, this expansion marks a reinvestment in Sterling's ability to not only accept new projects, but to continue to produce top-tier results for its customers.

‘Updating and expanding our cleanroom is a major step in ensuring sustainable growth not only for us, but for our customers as well,’ said Stan Bowker, President at Sterling Manufacturing. ‘Our sights are always set on success; the completion of this tremendous undertaking is another measured step in the right direction.’

The result of completion is an ISO-certified Class 8 cleanroom that is double the size of the company's previous space, paving the way for multiple new energy efficient Engel injection moulding machines, complete with multi-axis servo robots. This new space will allow for faster prototyping, quicker tooling and more comprehensive technical project development.
