Last week, the South Louisiana Economic Council (SLEC), a nonprofit dedicated to advancing economic growth in the Bayou Region, hosted its annual Bayou Business Summit. Doug Hemstreet, K&B’s Vice President of Operations, attended the Summit and participated in a panel discussion on Business Resiliency planning. The discussion covered key topics such as Disaster Recovery Planning, Business Continuity Planning, and Supply Chain Resilience. Celebrating 50 years in South Louisiana, K&B Industries is proud to support SLEC and is committed to fostering local economic growth.

The Commitment Continues: K&B nears completion of Precision Clean Line for the Semiconductor Industry. As part of K&B’s expanding focus on the semiconductor industry, we are nearing completion of our chemical clean line built to exacting semiconductor industry standard. The clean line is one part of a 118,000 square foot climate-controlled facility which also includes an ISO Class 6 clean room, assembly area, testing station, and inspection rooms. The next phase of the project will include additional lines to process Mil-A-8625 Types I, II & III anodization as well as electroless nickel plating. These investments are part of our overall plan to expand in the semiconductor space as a vertically integrated tier one supplier of built-to-print customer products and complex assemblies.

The Commitment Continues K&B Advanced Manufacturing has just completed and certified an 8000 square foot ISO Class 6 clean room, in support of our semiconductor business. We manufacture, assemble, and test a broad array of Ultra High Vacuum components destined for use in Wafer Fabrication Equipment used in the production of computer logic and memory chips. This new clean room gives us additional capacity for assembly and test along with more space to complete complex assemblies that can be integrated into WFE tools without further handling. Our future plans include moving up the value chain to provide sub-assemblies for tool manufacturers that will allow them to increase production as the market recovers in late 2024 and 2025.
