In the 400 sqm cleanroom CleanCell4.0® of ISO cleanroom class 6, components for semiconductor manufacturing are produced.

Since no suspension was possible on the on-site ceiling, the cleanroom was self-supporting constructed from a framework made of aluminum profiles.

Special cleanroom furniture and roller shutters with contactless operation ensure safe process flows.

Material sluices and doors feature an intelligent lighting concept that takes into account the flushing times and indicates when a door may be opened.
