U.S. assemblers growing businesses

Endicott Interconnect Technologies Inc. is looking forward to add more than 150 professional and full-time manufacturing employees during Q'04 2008. The company modified its employment practices to show its stable economic position and need for an expanding workforce, converting qualified temporary employees to full-time, permanent status. The Morey Corporation is also expanding capacity at its Illinois headquarters, nearly doubling the existing facility's manufacturing square footage and increasing manufacturing automation. Enhancements will include an additional 45,000 square feet of manufacturing, 29,000 square feet of warehousing, and an additional support area. Asymtek, a Nordson company, expanded and moved to a new location in Singapore. The larger facility includes a modern lab with a range of the company's dispensing and coating equipment for customer applications, training, and process development.
