Semiconductor

Wafer handling & chamber components

Durham sits at the heart of the Triangle's semiconductor renaissance — Wolfspeed's SiC leadership, IBM's advanced packaging research at RTP, and Duke University's photonics and MEMS programs generate steady demand for machined prototype fixtures, test hardware, and equipment modifications in exotic materials.

Explore Semiconductor in Durham

Robotics & Automation

Custom brackets, housings & fixtures

Durham's robotics demand builds on Research Triangle Park and Duke University — Duke's robotics and AI labs advance surgical robotics, autonomous systems, and human-robot interaction. RTP hosts IBM, Cisco, and Lenovo operations that develop IoT and edge-computing platforms for connected robots. The region's biotech corridor (anchored by Duke Medicine and the RTP pharma cluster) deploys laboratory automation and surgical robotic systems, while Amazon's RDU fulfillment centers use mobile robotics at scale.
