20 years clean-room technology in the WZB

For in the meantime two decades in the WZB in Neunkirchen/Saar pure space clothing for customers with the highest requirements is prepared. Not only in Germany, but also in adjacent countries enterprise from different industries regularly with decontaminated and/or sterilized clothing versorgt.1989 was built the first pure area of the class ISO 5 and taken in enterprise, one year later followed the second area for the treatment of the pure space clothing of IBM (at that time in Mainz, late Hungary). With the chip manufacturer acting at that time in the world leaders together - at this time with us still nearly unknown - the pure space technology was developed. Standards and approaches were compiled together with institutes, tested materials and qualified together with customers. Already soon the WZB could win new customers by its customer-friendly and flexible structure, at that time strengthened in the arising semiconductor and chip market. Fast the pure space section developed within the enterprise to an attractive work area for the handicapped and handicapped coworkers; at the same time also to important turnover-carrier-short time after beginning the work in the pure areas one developed a N�herei as additional service. At the beginning only patching up at the pure space clothing were accomplished, the majority of the work took place here for customers from the automobile industry (e.g. Ford, Decoma). In the meantime the N�herei is completely and permanently working at full capacity with the production of pure space clothing. One is proud in the WZB also on the award of the Saarland state price for Design, after one developed its own clothing line for the employment in the pure area. In the meantime customer structures and their requirements changed substantially. Of the strong chip industry at the beginning of the 90's only few customers remained remaining, much more develop in the last years in Germany the market within the range medical technology and pharmaceutical industry. In the WZB one reacted to the changed needs and 2008 into two new pure areas invested. Additionally to the individual processing now also micro-biological dangers in the production of the customers are avoided - on the newest state of the art were purchased for two autoclaves. In addition the work area was extended, in which one would drive in the meantime various assembly and packing work out under conditions of the ISO 8 can. In the WZB the responsible persons continue to set ever on innovation and progress. The next milestone will be reached at the beginning of of 2010 with introduction of an electronic logging system by means of RFID technology. Thus service level and security for the customers are again improved clearly.�
