Airtronics Celebrates 1-Year at new facility!

We recently celebrated the 1-Year Anniversary of our move to our new facility at 1991 Senter Road. The move increased our operating space from 65,000 to 110,000 square feet, and increased our employee count from 75 to just over 100. A barbeque lunch was provided for all employees, where Airtronics President and CEO Jeff Burke thanked everyone for their contributions toward a very successful transition.

 

May Stanford Month at Airtronics

The Airtronics-Stanford partnership went into full swing last month with Airtronics hosting a class tour, starring in professor's video, and assisting graduate students with design project. The action kicked off with a tour of our facility by the "Magic of Materials and Manufacturing" class.

"They were mesmerized," said Professor David Beach, who returned to Airtronics later that week to video the punching, robotic forming, masking, painting, hardware, and final assembly of blank end panels for Networking Equipment Chassis.
