Suzhou Industrial Park, PRC – Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation, the world’s largest independent manufacturer of custom high voltage power conversion products and X-Ray sources, announces the breaking ground of its new 14,000 square meter (nearly 150,700 square feet) design and manufacturing center in Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu, PRC, nearly doubling the size of the company’s current rented facilities in Suzhou (at 7,250 sq meters or 78,000 sq ft). 

By increasing Spellman’s design and manufacturing capabilities in China, this investment reinforces the company’s long-standing commitment to the Asian marketplace and supports the steady growth that began with Spellman’s first facility in 2004. According to David Burgess, Chief Marketing Officer, “With this building we put in place the important infrastructure to help us double again, supporting China OEMs as they continue to develop leading technologies and products across multiple industries. It provides the foundation to which we can develop and support the advanced High Voltage technology required to propel high technology industries in China for today and into the future”.

According to Jason Michael, VP of Operations in Asia, “This establishes a more permanent home for Spellman China and allows us to invest in our infrastructure for advanced operational technologies. It also utilizes LEED certified building materials to reduce our carbon footprint, provides improved facilities for all employees and continues our commitment to long-term sustainable growth in the China market”.  

To commemorate this event, a ground-breaking ceremony was held on March 18, 2021, and was attended virtually by Spellman executives from around the world, as well as Asia Pacific staff, and the Deputy Chairman of SIPAC, Ms. Vivian Liu.

“This facility will provide the necessary space to expand our product development and operations capacity to meet the needs of our valued customers in China and the Asia Pacific region,” said Dr. Loren Skeist, President and CEO of Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation. “In addition, this building is LEED Silver certified, which means it utilizes the most efficient HVAC, insulating materials, solar panels and efficient LED lighting in order to reduce our carbon footprint, something that’s very important to us,” added Dr. Skeist.

Dr. Skeist added, “We hope the facility we are now breaking ground for will be one SIP can be proud of, that our staff will be proud to work in, and that our customers will visit often!” The expanded facility will continue to serve as Spellman headquarters in the Asia Pacific region. The Company’s presence in the region also includes offices in Japan, Korea and India.
