NASA Announces Research Agreement With Lehigh University

OMC Scientific Holdings primarily provides
precision cleaning and reconditioning services for physical vapor
deposition customers serving the magnetic and optical data storage,
semiconductor and other technology-based growth markets. In 2003 Williams
Advanced Materials acquired certain assets of Honeywell Electronic
Materials related to the production of microelectronic packaging for
the computer, microwave and opto-electronic markets.

"It takes time and money to build labs like Lehigh's," said researcher Dr.
The acquisition, which includes a modern operating facility in
Limerick with 35 employees enables Williams Advanced Materials to
augment its existing physical vapor deposition materials business with
significantly enhanced service capabilities and an extended geographic
reach throughout Ireland , the United Kingdom and Continental Europe.
