GlobalFoundries and Beard Integrated
Systems has brought in business from a
process piping contractor based out of Dallas.
Beard Integrated Systems services Samsung,
Texas Instruments and the University of Texas
System. Now it will become a part of New York’s
growing semiconductor industry by working
with the computer chip factory in Malta.
Beard moved into their new office at
11 Stonebreak Road in Malta earlier this
month. Project Manager Zach Prince said the
company had been leasing space in Ballston
Spa for the last few years. Prince said the
partnership between the two companies
symbolizes the future of this type of growing
industry.
“As a symbol of Beard’s dedication to the
growing business and the willingness to
develop customers for life in the Tech Valley
and the Capital Region in New York, Beard
recently purchased a facility in Malta, New
York this past May that will serve as its home
base for work in the Capital Region as well as
other projects throughout the Empire State,”
said Prince.
Beard Integrated has been in business
since 1928. Prince said the philosophy of
their company is based on their corporate
philosophy of “developing a customer for
life.” This philosophy has allowed Beard
to maintain a long list of repeat customers,
among those is Texas Instruments.
Beard was one of the first contractors to
do work with Texas Instruments in the 1950s
and has maintained that relationship to the
present day.
Specifically, Beard will work with
GlobalFoundries on projects that include
Fab 8.1 expansion projects, bulk specialty
gases project, process lateral systems project,
as well as the Fab 8.1 UPW, ultrapure water
project, and many smaller projects.
Beard has also completed a large number
of projects in other sectors such as healthcare,
transportation, hospitality, educational,
industrial, as well as bio-pharmaceutical.
Beard has several locations across the U.S.,
including offices in Tennessee, New Mexico,
Oklahoma City and Austin, Texas.
“Beard is dedicated to establishing itself as
a preferred process piping, mechanical, and
plumbing contractor in not only the Tech
Valley/Capital Region area, but within the
Empire State itself. Beard is looking forward
to continuing its growth in New York as the
state continues to build its future as well,”
said Prince.
