Comet San Jose: Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the new, consolidated facility.
July 18, 2024
On Friday, July 12th, our San Jose team gathered for a joyful ribbon-cutting ceremony and an all-company BBQ to celebrate the opening of our new, consolidated facility in Silicon Valley. This milestone strengthens Comet’s presence in the region and fosters even better collaboration.
This ceremony marked an important milestone for the San Jose team, allowing employees and community partners alike to reflect upon and celebrate Comet’s continued impactful presence in America for over 35 years, especially in the Silicon Valley - a location valued for its proximity to customers and at the heart of the semiconductor industry.
Jaclyn Bainton, General Manager North America, was joined by Comet's CEO Stephan Haferl, Joeri Durinckx (President Plasma Control Division), and Dionys van de Ven (President X-ray Systems Division), all of whom wielded scissors to cut the ribbon!
A huge thank you to all the teams who supported the organization of this special event, which was truly enjoyed by all.

Curious question
We entered this facility a while ago. Why a ribbon cutting ceremony now?
Although Comet San Jose’s new, consolidated facility was officially open for business as of June of 2023, certain portions of the building remained under construction until only recently.
