Pall Corporation Opens New State-of-the-Art Facility in Singapore, Creating Up to 300 Jobs

Pall Corporation, a leader in filtration, separation and purification technologies, held its opening ceremony for a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Singapore that will serve regional and global customers within the growing semiconductor industry. Pall has invested approximately US$150 million on the facility which will primarily produce lithography and wet-etch filtration, purification and separation solutions that will help meet the high demand for advanced node semiconductor chips. “Throughout an almost 80-year history, Pall has been on the forefront of solving some of the world’s most complex challenges using advanced filtration.  This new facility is not only an important development for advancing semiconductor manufacturing technology, but also an important next step for Pall.  We will continue to leverage our experience and expertise to help solve global challenges, from the increased demand for advanced chips to aiding in the transition to greener manufacturing,” said Mr. Naresh Narasimhan, Danaher Group Executive, High Growth Markets & Pall Corporation. The now-completed seven-acre facility will include more than 18,000 square meters of high-volume manufacturing (HVM) and office space and will integrate core research and development capabilities in the future. The new facility will allow customers in highly demanding industries to meet growing end market demand for data processing and storage. “Newer applications like generative artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), next generation communications and autonomous vehicles require cutting-edge semiconductor chips that are made in advanced node fabs. The high technology filtration solutions manufactured by this new facility are specifically designed to support the production of these advanced node logic and memory chips,” said Mr. Shangaza Dasent, Vice President and General Manager Microelectronics, Pall Corporation. It is expected that the new site will create up to 300 jobs over the next few years across science, engineering and advanced manufacturing, with an emphasis on training and developing new talent as well as enabling transfer of knowledge to contribute to the growth of the sector as part of Singapore’s long-term strategy. There will be a consistent focus on talent development aligned to broader strategic national priorities to ensure that the advanced manufacturing industry can thrive in Singapore. With the addition of Pall’s new facility, Pall is building more capacity to support cutting-edge technologies and help scale new applications like generative AI. “We warmly welcome Pall’s new manufacturing facility to Singapore’s vibrant semiconductor ecosystem. This addition not only strengthens Singapore’s position as a critical node within the global semiconductor industry, but also improves the resiliency of the supply chain for the region. Singapore is committed to nurturing talent, building our R&D capabilities and ecosystem, and working with the industry to build a robust and diverse advanced manufacturing cluster,” said Mr. Tan Kong Hwee, Executive Vice President, Singapore Economic Development Board. Mr. Alvin Tan, Minister of State for Trade and Industry and Culture, Community and Youth, graced the opening ceremony as Guest of Honor and was joined by Casey Mace, Deputy Chief of Mission, U.S. Embassy in Singapore and Tan Kong Wee, Executive Vice President, Economic Development Board.

St. Lawrence College Proud of New Innovative Partnership to Train Healthcare Professionals

St. Lawrence College (SLC) has partnered with the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and Maple View Lodge in Athens, Ontario to provide real-world experience and training for Personal Support Worker (PSW) students.  Maple View Lodge is building a new facility (opening in 2025), that will greatly expand the number of beds. The St. Lawrence College PSW program will be delivered onsite at the Maple View Lodge facility, using a living classroom model. This will allow students enrolled in the program to have an immersive learning environment, becoming part of the facility from the beginning of their program, learning daily as part of the care team. All program content and classes will be delivered at the Maple View Lodge in Athens, and there are incentives to attract students to enroll.  Some of the incentives include a paid placement, 12-month guaranteed employment upon successful program completion and performance metrics, and support to purchase course materials.  “This partnership presents a terrific opportunity to students wishing to train for and begin working in a career that truly makes a difference,” said Dr. Barb Leblanc, Associate Vice-President, Academic at SLC. “SLC is proud to be the educational partner in this initiative, and we know from years of experience that our students are dedicated, hard-working, and our programs prepare them to succeed. To have such a partnership helping create more connections for students with hands-on learning, leading to more graduates with careers in areas where they are in demand is a win-win.” This Ontario College Certificate program will prepare students to provide personal care and support services to individuals and families. Responsibilities of PSW’s can include assisting with home management, facilitating social and recreational activities, and promoting health and well-being with clients from all ages of the lifespan. A PSW is a key member of the healthcare team, providing both physical and emotional care to those who are most vulnerable. “The United Counties of Leeds & Grenville and Maple View Lodge are proud to partner with SLC in the Living Classroom model of learning," said Cathy Fisher, Administrator of Maple View Lodge. "The Living Classroom integrates student learning with those living and working in long-term care. It’s all about enhancing preparedness for the workplace, facilitating development of the current workplace and ultimately enhancing the quality of life for our residents. We have the seniors eager to help the students in any way they can. We look forward to this partnership fostering and sustaining relationships between students and the senior participants. Imagine the impact for a student who has the opportunity to learn in a progressive learning environment that is located where seniors live and caregivers work; for the residents living here they have the opportunity to share their experiences and can participate in the teaching for our future care providers."
