CoorsTek has acquired Philips’ ceramics operations in Uden, The Netherlands.
Through this acquisition, CoorsTek expands its strategic partnership with Philips and will serve both Philips and other regional customers from Uden. Adding Uden extends the CoorsTek footprint to a dozen European manufacturing locations — in the Czech Republic, England, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Scotland and Sweden.
Using advanced ceramic injection molding and automated volume manufacturing, Uden can produce millions of high-purity ceramic parts each year. CoorsTek will use these capabilities to serve a broader set of customers and applications including the medical industry.
