“AdvanceTEC was selected to build several cleanrooms at Hemlock Semiconductor Corporation, including the large trace metals cleanroom and a smaller process engineering cleanroom in our new Analytical building. From the very beginning of the project I was pleasantly surprised at their depth of knowledge on cleanroom engineering, design, and construction methods and building codes.
