Customized wet bench – delivered quickly, implemented precisely

PaceTec GmbH has successfully delivered a customized, ATEX-compliant wet bench for Cicor Group at its site in Wangs, Switzerland. The project exemplifies our key strengths: customized solutions, rapid implementation and maximum flexibility.

 

ATEX-compliant PaceTec wet bench for Cicor Group

 

About the customer: Cicor Group

Cicor Group is a leading European provider of electronics solutions and microsystems technology. At its Wangs site, highly precise thin-film technologies are manufactured under cleanroom conditions. This demanding environment places the highest requirements on equipment, processes and safety.

 

The challenge

To expand and optimize its production, Cicor required a wet bench that:

  • complies with ATEX requirements for potentially explosive atmospheres,
  • integrates seamlessly into existing cleanroom processes,
  • adapts to the available space and
  • can be delivered within a particularly short timeframe.

In addition, ongoing changes had to be implemented flexibly throughout the project.

 

Our solution: Flexible engineering meets speed

PaceTec adopted an agile approach to the project:

Rapid implementation
Short decision-making processes enabled a particularly short delivery time.

Direct communication
Close coordination with the customer ensured efficient and solution-oriented collaboration.

Immediate integration of changes
Modifications were incorporated directly into the engineering and manufacturing processes without delays.

Customized equipment solution
The wet bench was designed precisely around the requirements of microelectronics production.

 

The result

  • On-time delivery despite the project’s high complexity
  • Compliance with all ATEX requirements
  • Seamless integration into existing processes
  • Maximum operational safety and efficiency

 

Customer testimonial

“Our collaboration with PaceTec was characterized by rapid implementation, direct communication and a high degree of flexibility when changes were required – exactly what we need for our production environment.”

— Uwe Keim, Managing Director, Cicor Group

 

Our commitment

“We are proud to have gained Cicor as a leading high-tech customer and to have developed a solution precisely tailored to its requirements.”

— Dieter Miller, Sales Director, PaceTec
