Industry news

CTS Corporation announced that CTS Electronic Components has been awarded a production program from a major industrial North American manufacturer for its piezoceramic products. First deliveries of these photolithographic processed piezo wafers will start in the third quarter 2009. Revenues from this award are expected to reach approximately $8 million over the next three to four years. The piezo products will be produced in a recently established, high-tech photolithographic manufacturing operation within the Albuquerque facility. The Class 10,000 cleanroom includes semiconductor manufacturing processes that are utilized to manufacture complex piezoceramic structures for emerging markets.
