Company

“A Wilmington, MA based company that designs, develops, and manufactures reactive gas solutions. ASTeX and MKS Instruments merged in 2001.” – From MKS Press Release

Description

SPEC provided a Design / Build / Commissioning package to ASTeX, for the relocation of their combined Manufacturing, R&D and Office Space from their old facility in Woburn, MA to the expanded facility in Wilmington, MA. The complete Design / Build cycle for this $9.2 MM project lasted from January of 2000 to July 2000. The client needed an up and running facility by the first week in July due to lease constraints. Downtime was not an option that could be tolerated, which required careful phasing of both the construction of the new building and relocation from the old building.
