GTAT’s Merlin Pilot Lines and High Production Machines being built in San Jose

by Matt Margolis

I’ve been asked by a few people what is going on inside GT’s San Jose office?  As it turns San Jose is currently the location that is designing and building the Merlin pilot line along with the building of high volume production machines.  According to a few employee profiles on Linkedin, GT has been on designing and building the Merlin pilot since late 2013.  GT indicated in March that the company planned to have the Merlin Pilot line operational and engage early customers in the 2H’13 and commercially ready by 2015.

I have no update against GT’s expected date but it does look the Merlin operation is up and running.
