Bluefors, a Finland-based producer of cryogenic measurement systems for quantum technology, has inaugurated its expanded production facility in Syracuse, New York. The new development will produce cryocoolers under the Cryomech brand at a higher capacity, improve its research and development capabilities, and produce dilution refrigerators for the first time in the US.

The facility, built first in 2020, will increase the output at Bluefors’ Syracuse facilities by nearly 45%.

Bluefors CEO Jonas Geust remarked that the expansion made the firm the “biggest manufacturer of dilution refrigerators” in the US. The investment is meant to “support the growth of the quantum sector and [help] advance the industrial development of quantum technologies in North America.”

Quantum chips require extremely low temperatures to function accurately. Given the predicted 17% annual growth in the global quantum technology market by 2040, Bluefors hopes to meet some of the growing demand for cryocoolers and dilution refrigerators.

Aside from this growth, this type of cooling technology is also used in academic research and the medical and life sciences sectors.

As the Syracuse facility grows, Bluefors aims to enhance its operations in the US through more comprehensive integration, accessibility, and quicker response times. The firm is also opening a spare parts centre in the American city to serve clients in the US and Canada.
