Ametherm opens new Carson City manufacturing facility

CARSON CITY, USA: Ametherm, a manufacturer of thermistors and other electronic components for circuit protection, announced that it has doubled the size of its manufacturing plant with a newly purchased 36,000-square-foot facility on Carson City's east side.

In an industry where Asia-sourced components dominate, Ametherm manufactures all its products in the U.S.A., at its new facility and at a smaller Carson City plant that was its headquarters from 1994 until recently.

Eric Rauch, president and CEO of Ametherm said: "Our new plant on U.S. 395 represents an investment in Ametherm's future and a fulfillment of our immediate requirements for additional space following on our acquisition last month of the Surge-Gard inrush current limiter product line from Measurement Specialties Inc. It also stands as a statement of our faith and success in manufacturing in the U.S.A., which we have done successfully for nearly 20 years and began doing at a time when many in this industry were offshoring their operations."
