Gelest doubles
production capacity
Gelest Inc. recently completed the final phase of a multi-year project to double the capacity of its Morrisville, PA headquarters and product plant. The expansion was necessitated by the increased demand for specialty silane and metal organic molecules used in variety of applications.
The plant expansion more than doubles reactor capacity and adds new capability in ultra high viscosity polymerization and micro-particle size modification. Quality control and bulk storage have also been expanded to meet the new capacity. The expansion increases the size of the plant to 55,000 square feet, leaving space for additional expansion in the future.
