Silicon Designs Announces New Global Corporate Headquarters

Silicon Designs, a global industry leader in the design, development and manufacture of industrial-grade MEMS capacitive accelerometer chips and modules, has announced the successful relocation of its world headquarters to a 59,000 square foot sales, engineering and manufacturing facility, located at 13905 Northeast 128th Street, Kirkland, Washington, USA. Originally built in 2002, the new Silicon Designs global corporate headquarters includes a $1 million USD custom renovation, including substantial investments in capital equipment, toward creation of a state-of-the-art in-house MEMS fabrication facility. This includes 4,000 square feet of fully dedicated clean room manufacturing space. The facility enhancements will allow for continued addition of staff and technology, in response to growing customer and industry demand for Silicon Designs products, while allowing the company to keep pace with its aggressive sales growth objectives. A formal facility grand opening is scheduled for June, 2012. Founded in 1983, the privately held Silicon Designs specializes in the design, development and manufacture of highly rugged industrial grade capacitive accelerometers with integrated amplification. As the OEM of its own MEMS-based accelerometer chips and modules, Silicon Designs is able to ensure quality, offer custom design and still keep prices highly competitive. Carefully regulated manufacturing processes ensure that each sensor is consistently made to be virtually identical, allowing users to swap out modules with little or no testing modifications, saving both time and resources. This also allows test engineers to provide a quick plug-and-play solution for most any application with total trust in the accuracy of sensors used within published specifications. The company also continues to expand its sales representation network, particularly within the oil and gas market. www.silicondesigns.com
