Xtalic Corporation Opens New Facility in Marlborough
Marlborough, MA – March 1, 2008
Xtalic Corporation has moved its headquarters to a new state-of-the-art facility located in Massachusetts. “Our new facility gives us the space we need to test processes and run customer parts at a pilot industrial scale, while also providing improved infrastructure for continued research and development activities. It also offers expansion room for our growing team,” says Alan Lund, Xtalic’s Chief Technology Officer. The new facility covers 15,000 square feet.
The additional space comes just in time for Xtalic’s pilot scale up of the initial product set. “We have been working with our pilot customers through laboratory trials, and are now ready to bring our technology to pilot scale. The whole team is excited by the move and the opportunities the new facility offers us,” says Lund. “We believe this space will serve us well through our next phase of growth.”
