Therefore, the center is operating at full capacity. “Building the second refurbishment center in Dresden was a well-considered decision to be able to serve local and European customers more quickly. Customer focus is the highest priority in Japanese culture. Dresden is the ‘Silicon Saxony,’ and with the refurbishment center, we want to provide even more services. Especially in chip production, the degree of uptime—that is, the availability of the production facilities—is crucial,” emphasizes Carsten Muth, director of the Dresden center and responsible for the overall construction project. The refurbishment center occupies an area of ​​800 square meters on the Dresden-Weixdorf site.

An additional 100 square meters of office space was added to the existing office building. EBARA has invested in state-of-the-art office equipment here, including air conditioning. More than 40 employees currently work at the Dresden facility, and this number is expected to grow in the coming years. The facility also houses the warehouse for the European market. Every day, numerous shipments—ranging from tiny sensors to vacuum pumps weighing hundreds of kilograms—are sent from Dresden to various European countries and Israel.

Official opening in spring 2021.
If all goes according to plan, the opening of the Dresden refurbishment center will take place in April 2021. Representatives from the Japanese parent company will also be in attendance at the celebration.
