CHELMSFORD, MA (22 March 2021) – Edwards completed the acquisition of the cryogenic product lines from Brooks’ Automation, Inc., in July 2019. The acquisition expanded Edward’s technology offering to customers in the semiconductor and general vacuum industries.
Edwards will now invest in a new building in Haverhill, Massachusetts, expected to be completed during the second quarter 2022.
