“Because of the unique design of our product, customers in the US and Asia have been qualifying NexPlanar’s pads and it became necessary to increase capacity,” noted Jim LaCasse, NexPlanar CEO. “We also wanted to have the ability to incrementally increase capacity in the future. This new Hillsboro site provides for a significant capacity increase and the flexibility needed for the future.”
