Our new facility is not just a new space. It is designed and built to perform as a 21st century Lean manufacturing machine, inside a 216,000-square-foot high-bay building (approximately 4.9 acres) located on a 14-acre parcel at the south end of Paine Field. The unitary footprint and flexible infrastructure let us deploy our people and configure our processes as efficiently as possible, and adapt quickly as requirements change.

The ExtremeTouch Projected Capacitive Modules from Touch International are the latest in an innovative new product line geared to raise the bar with its portable, plug and play design, supporting both single and two-finger touch. Well equipped with a general purpose projected capacitive controller and a touch screen mounted on a LCD, these innovative modules do not require set up or system integration. Without the need for integration, each module can be promptly configured to virtually any program and adapted to suit the need of any application.

In an effort to be more environmentally responsible, Touch International has 'gone green'. Paper pay stubs have been replaced with electronic copies and facility-wide recycling has been implemented. Plastic bottles, aluminum cans and paper products from the Austin office and manufacturing facility are all being recycled. Invoices, proof of delivery confirmations and other documentation is also being sent electronically. "It's important to do what we can to be environmentally conscious and responsible. Reducing paper waste and recycling are two very practical ways to contribute to the 'Go Green' initiative," says Suzanne Koenig, Corporate Controller. "TI employees are doing an excellent job of pitching in and making this green program work. Who knows what we'll come up with next!"
