Brewer Science to add high-volume manufacturing in Missouri

Brewer Science Inc of Rolla, MO, USA, which provides specialty materials, integrated processes, and laboratory-scale wafer processing equipment, plans to build a high-volume manufacturing facility in Vichy, MO, to produce materials for manufacturing next-generation smartphones, tablet computers, cameras, games, and other electronic devices.

The new facility will be located at the Rolla National Airport, about 12 miles from the firm’s headquarters.  Brewer Science says that the new investment will provide increased capacity for high-volume manufacturing of specialty materials meeting the stringent specifications required for microelectronics.

Under the leadership of founder & president Dr Terry Brewer, Brewer Science has become a major Missouri employer since 1981. The announcement means new jobs for Missouri and an expansion of the state’s technology footprint, the firm says. Brewer Science is part of the emerging I-44 technology corridor in Missouri, spanning across the state from St. Louis to Joplin. “The new facility will provide the company with multiple manufacturing locations in Missouri,” says Dr Brewer.   

Utilizing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines, the new facility will be powered using geothermal energy. Designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive, the building will have the infrastructure to manufacture high-volume products that meet or exceed International Organization for Standardization (ISO) requirements. 

Brewer Science says that it appreciates the team effort by the City of Rolla, the Rolla Regional Economic Commission, and the Rolla Community Development Corporation, as well as the involvement of Intercounty Electric Cooperative and the Maries County Commission, in helping to make the development possible.
