Soaking up the Sun

Precision Associates has installed over 40,000 square feet of solar panels on the roof of its Minneapolis facility to leverage the region’s average of 208 sunny days per year. The system will produce 791 kW of energy!  This renewable energy initiative supports the company’s sustainability goals while reducing operational costs by utilizing 100% of the electricity generated on-site.

Medical Cleanroom Expansion

To meet the increasing demand for high-precision components in the medical device industry, Precision Associates is expanding its ISO Class 7 cleanroom manufacturing space to 20,000 square feet. This strategic investment — scheduled for completion by the end of 2025 — will support the rapid growth of our liquid silicone rubber (LSR) molding operations, launched in 2022. The expanded facility will enhance our ability to deliver cleanroom-manufactured components that meet stringent industry and regulatory requirements.
