Turnkey relocation supports Seagate technology
Since 1991, IES has provided programme management and specific services for equipment and factory relocation in the semiconductor industry. Working closely with OEMs, businesses such as Axcelis and Applied Materials, we’ve built an enviable reputation for meeting exacting relocation requirements. Other clients include Intel, Seagate, Altis and Soitec. Each had different needs. And each demanded the same reliability, value, fast relocation and peace of mind.
Working direct or with clients’ project management partners
With such a diverse and experienced team of engineers, programme managers and equipment specialists, our clients in the semiconductor industries know they can count on us for the exceptional service and advanced engineering capability they need.
From our understanding of clean room environments and protocols, to Health & Safety and the specialised packing that protects semiconductor equipment in transit, each relocation builds our worldwide reputation for successful implanter and specialist equipment moves in the semiconductors industry. For some clients we handle all programme management directly; for others, we work with their project management partner. Either way, from fab to fab, no-one relocates, stores, protects and looks after clients quite like IES.
Relocating Seagate demonstrates IES capabilitIES
A typical machinery relocation assignment for Seagate Technology demonstrates our capabilities. In the semiconductor industry, few projects come more challenging than the complete shutdown and relocation of a major R&D facility – against the clock, around the world and with millions of pounds worth of delicate equipment involved. That was the challenge facing Seagate Technology, a leader in the design and manufacture data storage solutions.
Moving Seagate equipment to various North American locations, or assisting in equipment disposal, involved complete programme management and scheduling, facility decommissioning, rigging and relocating 150 high-value, precision machines. The international move also drew on our specialist export packing skills and required specialised anti-vibration technology and environmental vacuum-sealed barrier bags.
Supporting large and small firms in the semiconductor industry
The result was another smooth relocation, as we undertook the entire major move for Seagate and completed the plant relocation with minimal disruption. Whether we’re working for a multinational such as Seagate or a small specialist firm near our Bristol, UK, headquarters, the attention to detail, application of skills, experience and client care is always the same.
