an d seismic monitoring announced today their decision to relocate locally. Neuchatel, Switzerland, February 08, 2012 -- Colibrys SA, a world leading manufa cturer of sensors for precision navigation and seismic monitoring announced toda y their decision to relocate locally, some 35kms distant in the Y-Parc at Yverdo n-les-Bains, Canton Vaud, Switzerland. The relocation which encompasses all parts of the Colibrys business will be comp leted by mid 2013. The project is supported by some 10mio USD investment in supp ort of dedicated new clean-rooms for the manufacture of 6 inch silicon wafers; a dvanced assembly and test capabilities as well as all systems design, product en gineering and administration activities. Colibrys will benefit enormously in the medium term from this decision, profitin g from substantial rent reductions whilst benefiting from being housed in extrem ely modern eco-friendly premises. The new premises owned by Meigerhorn were cons tructed within the heart of the Y-Parc technology centre in 2010 targeted specif ically to house multiple high tech SME businesses. Sean Neylon, CEO of Colibrys was quoted saying This move has been under negotiation now for 12 months. All our stakeholders will benefit directly and indirectly fr om the financial benefits implicit in this decision. This will allow us to reinv est further in expanding our business into medical and industrial markets, exten ding our already substantial investments into new product developments, reinforc ing our customer support services worldwide and further improving the social ben efits for our employees. We are a world leader in high reliability MEMS based mo tion sensors and we intend to establish this new business centre as our headquar ters for significant design and manufacturing expansion over the coming years. About Colibrys COLIBRYS is a world-leading supplier of standard and semi-custom MEMS based moti on sensors to the harsh-environments (Aerospace & Defense and Energy) and safety critical (Industrial and Instrumentation) applications. COLIBRYS family of motion sensors includes extremely low-noise shock resistant seismic sensors, high stabi lity shock tolerant inertial and shock accelerometers, precision tilt sensors as well as high stability DC coupled capacitive vibration sensors. COLIBRYS is bas ed in Neuchtel, Switzerland. Additional information is available at www.colibrys.c om. About MEMS Technology MEMS (Micro-EIectrical-Mechanical Systems) are micro electro-mechanical structur es defined principally in silicon, glass or polymeric materials using techniques similar to traditional integrated circuit process technology. These devices can combine mechanical and/or optical and/or fluidic and electrical elements to pro vide basic sensing or actuating functions. These sensing or actuating elements c an be combined with discrete or monolithic microelectronic integrated circuits t o create miniature microsystems capable of providing exceptionally small, rugged ized, low cost functionality historically not imaginable with traditional macro mechanical technology. Day-to-day examples include tilt and navigational / orien tation sensors, microphones and altimeters found in most of today s mobile phones, t ablets and multi-media products.
