We're back with another Expanding for Innovation Update!
This week we are excited to share some photos and video footage from inside our new expansion! It seems like everyday there is a new milestone met.
You'll notice in the photos, that the curbing and layout for our new parking lot section have been completed. This will provide more parking for our staff and visiting customers and vendors.
As you can see from the photo taken at 15 feet, our grand entrance for the expansion is coming together. This entrance mirrors the one on our main building, and carries through some of the same design elements.
Our very own Richie Nethery once again took some spectacular footage of the interior progress on the building. It is clear that we are days away from duct-work and drywall being installed. You can view this video on our social media accounts - LinkedIn, Instagram, & Facebook.
As we get closer to completion, excitement is growing. Plans are underway for interior finishes and move-in schedules. This facility will be a great asset as KRI continues to grow and develop quality product lines and services for our customers. Check back regularly not only for our Expanding for Innovation Updates, but also for new products and services information!
It's time for another Expanding for Innovation Update!
We are excited with all the progress we are seeing on our new building! This month's photos were taken right before they started pouring the concrete floors inside the building. 
As you can see, we now have a roof, walls, window spaces, and a grand front entrance!
Thank you to our own Richie Nethery for taking the photos and video with his drone. They are a great way to document all the progress being made.
We can't wait to show you the change again next month!
You can view the drone video on all of our social media sites:

It's time for another Expanding for Innovation Update!
While the current pandemic situation may have altered our daily work routines and pace of work, progress is still being made on our expansion!
As you can see from the photos, our expansion now has a roof, walls, and window openings!
Our excitement is growing! We can't wait to see what each week brings for our new building!
We are thankful for the dedicated and essential construction workers who have continued to work on our building.

The global spread of COVID-19 is affecting every one of us.
We want to keep our customers and vendors up-to date on our business during this time of uncertainty. Therefore, we are going to be posting regular "Kaufman & Robinson Check-In" updates.
Two weeks ago, Kaufman & Robinson transitioned to a “skeleton crew” production process. We did this to balance the health and safety of our employees with our commitment to our valued customers.
Staff of Kaufman and Robinson
A lot has happened over the past two weeks. Every day, we learn more and more about this virus and the lasting effects it will have – not just on individual lives and health, but on our ever changing economy, as well. As we learn to adjust to this current “normal” in the midst of “shelter in place” orders, we wanted to reach out and remind our partners and customers that we are still here.
Kaufman & Robinson has always worked hard to provide quality products and exceptional customer service for our customers. Our skeleton crew has been working hard to fill orders for companies who have been deemed essential, and to provide support for all of our customers. We have staff on hand answering customer inquiries and questions, and production team members filling orders for spare parts and providing application support.
We have team members monitoring messages and email accounts daily. If you need support or have questions, please know that our technical support crew and sales team will return any calls or emails as soon as they possibly can. Calls can be placed to our mainline (970)-495-0187, or directly to your trusted KRI contact.
KRI Resources & Help
In the meantime, we invite you visit our Resources page on our website. We have provided an online library of product information, application processes, and technical notes.
We look forward to continuing to connect with you here on our website with regular "Kaufman & Robinson Check-In" updates, and through all of our social media channels as well. Check back for regular posts, links, and Kaufman & Robinson information.
Stay safe and healthy.
Day by day we are seeing progress on our facility expansion in Fort Collins! This morning - all we had were pipes and concrete. By mid-morning, we had steel beams in place for the framing of the walls and roof!
We are excited to see what it will look like over the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more Expanding for Innovation updates!
KRI is excited to announce that they are headed to Denver for the APS March Meeting, March 2-6! This is the first time that Kaufman & Robinson has participated in this annual event, and we are looking forward to all of the new connections we will make there! We’re also thrilled for the chance to show off our great state of Colorado – welcoming all of the scientists who work in academia, national laboratories, and various industries throughout the world.
The APS March Meeting Exhibit is the perfect fit for Kaufman & Robinson. Many of the attendees work in sciences and fields such as thin films, semiconductors, optoelectronics, and data storage technologies. KRI is a pioneer and leader in broad beam products that have powered advances in all of these areas and more.
Our team of professionals will be showcasing our RFICP40 Remote Mount Version and two products from our Gridded KDC Sources line – the KDC10 and KDC40. The RFICP40 is the smallest and most cost-effective RF gridded ion source product. It is perfect for many research and development applications because of its filament-less technology. The KDC10 & KDC40 sources are often used for research and industrial fabrication of optical, photonics, magnetic, and microelectronic devices. Both are well suited for installations in smaller vacuum systems, and their attractive price points make them perfect for research scientists who would like to add broad beam processing to their laboratory tools. You can find more information about these products here: https://ionsources.com/product-lines/
Kaufman & Robinson will be set up at booth #1805 with products, literature, and a dedicated team to meet with interested parties. While visiting the booth, you can enter to win a KRI Klean Kanteen water bottle! Drawings will be held each day of the exhibition.
KRI’s Human Resources team will also be on hand at the APS March Meeting Jobs Expo. KRI is in the process of hiring a new CAD & Manual Controls Assistant Technician. We are eager to connect with job seekers at this event as well! More information about this position can be found here: https://ionsources.com/employment-opportunities/cad-manual-controls-assistant-technician/
We hope to see many familiar faces and get to know new ones at this wonderful event. See you in Denver!
