New cleanroom facility for UK aerospace and defence surface mount oscillator production

22-05-2019 | Euroquartz | Subs & Systems

Euroquartz has completed the installation of a new class 7 cleanroom facility at the company’s headquarters. This notable investment is intended to ensure that the company plays a crucial role in the UK manufacture of oscillator products for defence and aerospace applications and ensure UK defence contractors can fulfil their demands for SMD oscillators.

The new cleanroom facility was introduced early in 2019 with an expectation of adding a new series of SMD oscillators to its existing range of through-hole products. Current manufactured products will also profit from the cleanroom environment, and the company expects improved quality for its UK production for the foreseeable future.

“The ongoing turmoil of Brexit and other world events suggest that the timing for this significant investment in our UK facility is right,” commented Euroquartz director, Andy Treble. “It is important to maintain manufacturing for critical frequency components in the UK, particularly for defence and aerospace projects.”
