Kyocera Fineceramics Europe GmbH – a subsidiary of Japan’s Kyocera Group – is moving into a new technology and production site in Erfurt, Germany. The new facility expands the company’s technological capabilities in multi-wire sawing with modern systems for high-precision cutting of hard, brittle materials. This move will expand application expertise in target markets such as semiconductor manufacturing and testing and enable the development and production of advanced ceramic products. Erfurt will also be the new home of Kyocera’s environmental technology division, which develops products such as fume scrubbers and neutralization units and is currently based in Mannheim. The new facility in Erfurt-Südost provides employees with more space for efficient development, assembly and testing while ensuring faster delivery of products to customers. In the future, the company will not only machine its own ceramic products but will also provide contract machining of customer materials. Armin Kayser, Managing Director of KYOCERA Fineceramics Europe GmbH: “We are confident that the new site will not only enhance our service portfolio but also help us to continue expanding our market presence, particularly in semiconductor applications, and offer our customers even better solutions.” The decision to locate the facility in Erfurt was made due to the well-equipped new production areas, which offer additional potential for expansion.
