Polatis
Chooses Poland for Production Plant
Strong
market demand for optical switch products
fuels need for third facility.
Polatis Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer
of optical switches, today announced it is
to open a new production facility in Poland,
further increasing its manufacturing and development
to support growing customer demand for its
optical switch technology.
The new Poland facility, which is due to be
operational by early Autumn 2007, will augment
the production capacity of its other facilities,
whose total demand is expected to triple this
calendar year. The new facility will concentrate
on manufacture of standard products for telecom
and instrumentation markets, while Cambridge
and Boston will focus on specialized defense
products and new technology development. The
Poland facility will feature state-of-the-art
manufacturing, test and qualification capabilities,
and will eventually support 100 people. The
new production team have recently completed
a year’s training at the company’s
Cambridge facility.
“This is an exciting period of growth
for our company and the new facility in Poland
illustrates the increasing demand for our
high performance products in the marketplace,”
said Dave Lewis, CEO of Polatis. “We
selected Poland as an ideal location for expansion
due to its combination of a highly talented
workforce and excellent cost advantages.
“The new facility will enable us to ramp
up production and scale our operations to
meet both near-term customer needs, and large
volume programs where we are in trials now,
such as those in FTTH, and backbone network
operations.”
The announcement comes as the company prepares
for its participation at NXTcomm, Chicago,
an industry event uniting service providers
with the world’s leading technology companies.
Live product demonstrations of the next generation
of optical switch technology will take place
in the Polatis booth (5755), Tuesday June
19 through Thursday June 21.
