Brewer Science, Inc., a company specializing in materials and processes for the microelectronics and optoelectronics industries, has opened a new office and laboratory in Chandler, Arizona. The facility, named the Brewer Science Arizona Innovation Center, is intended to strengthen the company’s connections with customers, partners, and research collaborators in the region.
“This new office and lab bring us closer to the heart of the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem,” said Rama Puligadda, Chief Technology Officer at Brewer Science. “The proximity to our customers and partners will streamline our research collaborations and accelerate delivery of advanced materials that meet the rigorous demands of next-generation devices and support our U.S. semiconductor supply chain.”
The center will function as both a collaborative research space and a hub for customer engagement.
