WITec Breaks Ground for New HQ

Microscope manufacturer WITec GmbH broke ground earlier this month for new headquarters in Ulm, Germany, to include research, production and office facilities. WITec said the new building, located in a science park next to the University of Ulm, will include space for customer training, instrument presentation and demonstration labs. It is expected to be completed by May 2009. WITec makes optical and scanning probe microscopy systems for materials science, life sciences and nanotechnology markets.
