Dublin, PN (PRWEB) October 23, 2006 -- QuantumClean®, the leading provider of outsourced process tool parts cleaning for the semiconductor industry, today announced that it has entered into a definitive Master Services Agreement with Praxair Electronics to provide on-site parts cleaning for Praxair Electronics' semiconductor component business. The move is also part of QuantumClean's recent expansion of operations into the southwest United States. Doors opened to the new full-service Advanced Technology Cleaning CenterTM in Phoenix, Arizona in May 2006.
