Hello, my name is Tijs Teepen.
Throughout my studies in physics at TU Delft and throughout my career, cleanliness has been a recurring theme in my work.
I started my career at Mapper Lithography BV, where I was responsible for the proof of principle machine and worked many hours in the clean room. Installation at one of the TSCM FABs in Taiwan showed me what a real FAB looks like and how impressive such a building is. Later at Vernooy Vacuum Engineering BV, it became clear that creating ultra-high vacuum is possible only if all components and the vacuum vessel are extremely clean. In my position as general manager, I transformed Vernooy into a very well organised and efficient company for the production of high-quality and clean vacuum systems, a skill that Vernooy still has and is known for.
As CTO of Masevon Group, I helped transform ASML and Zeiss into a premier supplier by designing and building a state-of-the-art cleanroom, cleaning facility and RGA system. All at a level suitable for supplying ASML Grade 1 assemblies. Building a new facility that meets the specifications of both ASML and Zeiss is a huge challenge and not something to be taken lightly.
At Masevon, we also started developing machines and tools for the pharmaceutical and medical markets, where I learnt a lot about the complexity of GMP design and all the rules and guidelines that apply in this world.
I bring this knowledge to the Brecon Group and in particular to Brecon cleanroom systems BV. In my new position as business development manager at Brecon cleanroom systems BV, I can use my 25 years of experience to help our customers and partners optimise their cleanroom design.
At Brecon cleanroom systems BV, we approach a cleanroom project not only as a construction, but as a system. All elements of this system (similar to modules in a machine) have an (in)direct effect on the end result. Our holistic approach included process flows, energy, environment, human interests, CAPEX and OPEX analyses to ensure an optimised solution for our customers
