Rochester, NY: January 6, 2009 – RocCera has received a grant from New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to evaluate and reduce manufacturing time and costs by using new energy saving technologies.
"We have high energy costs associated with the manufacturing of advanced ceramics and our task is to find ways to reduce the manufacturing time and amount of energy needed." said Dr. Sam Ghosh, President and
Founder of RocCera. “With this study, we hope to reduce our lead times, increase the use of alternative energy and decrease our costs and carbon emissions."
"In keeping with the vision of NYSERDA, RocCera is
committed to developing new ways to reduce energy use and manufacturing costs" said Dr. Ghosh "Innovative projects such as this will help achieve that goal, making RocCera more energy efficient and more competitive in the global market.” The 24-month project is expected to be completed by 2011.
RocCera, LLC is a manufacturer of advanced structural ceramic (ASC) components based in Rochester, New York. This advanced ceramic technology was developed in Kodak under the leadership of Dr. Sam Ghosh, who founded RocCera in 2006. RocCera has outgrown their initial manufacturing space in Hilton NY and will be moving to a larger location at the Rochester Technology Park , in Gates NY. The increased space will allow more capacity for offices, manufacturing, research and development.
