Pall Corporation and Matheson Tri-Gas, have entered into a strategic
alliance to jointly develop, manufacture and sell gas purifiers to the
semiconductor industry. Both companies will have exclusive access to
the others' purification media to improve semiconductor manufacturing
by eliminating particulate and molecular contaminants, including
oxygen, moisture and hydrocarbons from process gases. The two companies
will alsocombine their strengths in the development of new technologies
to meet the increasingly stringent and changing needs of the
semiconductor industry.
"Our new alliance provides this $30 million market with an expanded
portfolio of media and unparalleled purification technology for
virtually every application in semiconductor processing," said Steven
Chisolm, president of Pall Microelectronics. "This is increasingly
important as gas purification becomes a dominant factor in
semiconductor manufacturing."
William J. Kroll, chairman, CEO and president of Matheson Tri- Gas,
Inc. added, "Our new business relationship will afford both Matheson
and Pall improved efficiencies in our purification product offerings,
resulting in better overall products for the market."
The two companies have been working together since 1997, when Pall
began distributing Matheson's "NANOCHEM" point-ofuse gas purification
systems. These systems have provided unprecedented purification
solutions to the electronics industry since 1985 and were the first
point-of-use purifiers to deliver sub parts per billion (ppb) purity
level gas to the semiconductor industry.
