Haemonetics Corporation announced that it has fully commenced operations at its new manufacturing Center of Excellence in Clinton, PA. The custom-built facility occupies approximately 200,000 square feet at 1300 Clifford Ball Drive in Clinton Commerce Park near Pittsburgh International Airport. Haemonetics previously operated a manufacturing facility in nearby Leetsdale, PA since 1990. Initial manufacturing began earlier this year at the Clinton site, where Haemonetics makes use of both resources from its previous facility in Leetsdale as well as new, advanced technology and manufacturing equipment to support demand for the production of critical disposables and consumables across Haemonetics' Plasma and Hospital businesses.

The Clinton facility also incorporates several environmentally-focused features, including smart controls on the HVAC systems, a recycled compressor heat system for more efficient temperature control and a closed loop process water system that allows for free process cooling in the winter months and reduced chemical treatment needs.
