Sypris to Consolidate Maryland and New Jersey Calibration Labs

Sypris Test & Measurement today announced plans to relocate and consolidate its calibration laboratory located in Annapolis Junction, Md., with its new state-of-the-art, A2LA-accredited facility in Sayreville, N.J. Sypris management expects complete consolidation by January 28, 2005 without disruption of service to customers.

“Sypris’ financial strength allowed us to design and build the New Jersey facility to accommodate Maryland branch customers with high-end electrical calibration needs,” said Derrell James, Sypris Test & Measurement general manager. “The recently constructed New Jersey lab is four times larger and offers unique capabilities not offered at the Maryland facility.”

Unique capabilities of the New Jersey calibration lab include fiber optic calibrations and RF capabilities to 26.5 GHz, including calibration of power sensors, EVM, FSK and CDMA digital modulation, reflection magnitude and phase, transmission magnitude and phase. Additional capabilities expected to be added during the first quarter of 2005 include RF/Isotropic field probe calibrations to 50 GHz and antenna calibrations to 50 GHz with full RF capabilities extended to 50 GHz.

“This is a great opportunity for Sypris to deliver improved capabilities, broader ranges of support services, and improved scope and responsiveness to our Maryland customers,” said Ryan Wilde, New Jersey branch manager. “We look forward to a seamless transition.”
