October 1, 2018
AES Will Add ARM’s Gas Purification Technology to Supplement and
Further Expand Its Gas Delivery Equipment Offerings
MALVERN, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Applied
Energy Systems (AES), provider of high and ultra high purity gas
systems, services, and solutions – including design, manufacturing,
testing, installation, and expert field services – has announced the
acquisition of Advanced
Research Manufacturing (ARM), Inc., a specialty provider of gas
purification systems based in Colorado Springs, CO. ARM, Inc. has been
manufacturing high and ultra high purity gas purifiers and gas handling
equipment for 20 years and boasts a worldwide installed base of
point-of-use, micro-bulk and bulk gas purifiers. AES is a long-time
leader in the manufacturing of high and ultra high purity gas and liquid
delivery systems, and ARM’s portfolio of solutions will now be offered
through AES to supplement and further expand its gas delivery equipment
offerings and bring new benefits to customers seeking quality gas
handling solutions.
“ARM brings getter, catalyst, and absorber purification technology to
Applied Energy Systems that will complement our existing product
offerings, allowing AES to provide a more complete and unique solution
at a very competitive price,” said Steve Buerkel, President of Applied
Energy Systems.
ARM, Inc.’s ultra high purity gas purifiers and associated gas handling
equipment are used across the industrial, semiconductor, energy,
medical, and pharmaceutical markets both in the U.S. and internationally
– the same verticals where AES has a proven track record of enabling
safe, precise gas delivery. “There is already a great deal of synergy
between the AES and ARM teams in terms of our knowledge of gas handling
requirements for innovative processes and applications,” said Jim
Murphy, General Manager of AES. “ARM’s products are a natural extension
of our equipment offerings, and together we’ll offer customers our
collective expertise to benefit their projects – whether they require
gas purification or gas delivery solutions, or both.”
Brian Warrick, ARM, Inc.’s Director of Technology, added: “With AES’ and
ARM’s combined resources, the research of new technologies and
subsequent development of new products can occur at a more rapid pace.
This will enable us to efficiently add to ARM’s existing portfolio of
offerings that include purifiers as well as field engineering support.”
“We are extremely pleased to become a part of AES, and look forward to
growing our market share in the purification of high and ultra high
purity gas,” said Dan Spohn, Director of Global Sales and Market
Development at ARM.
