安捷伦于2012年11月20日发布消息称，公司已经在波兰弗罗茨瓦夫成立了新的X射线衍射仪制造工厂。同原来的生产工厂相比，拥有先进装备的新工厂将增强安捷伦的X射线衍射仪生产和研发能力。新工厂将专门用来从事安捷伦单晶X射线衍射仪的生产，包括最新发布的GV1000 X射线衍射仪。

　　安捷伦波兰区经理Zdzis?aw Bober表示：“我们一直期望能搬到一个更大的，特别设计的工厂。新工厂提供了更多的设施和装备来提高产品的研发和生产能力，并且为当地的员工提供了更好的工作环境。工厂设计符合最严格的X射线安全需求，这使我们能更容易的使用高强度X射线装置。”

　　新工厂离安捷伦原来在弗罗茨瓦夫的工厂仅几千米处，由于2010年对瓦里安的收购，原工厂的容量已经不能满足生产需要。

Agilent Technologies Opens New X-ray Diffraction Manufacturing Facility in Wroclaw, Poland

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 20, 2012

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced it has opened a new X-ray diffraction manufacturing facility in Wroclaw, Poland. The state-of-the-art facility gives Agilent significantly greater manufacturing capacity and enhanced R&D capabilities compared with the company's old facility. The new site has been designed specifically for the production of Agilent's expanding range of products for single-crystal X-ray diffraction, including the recently launched GV1000 X-ray Diffractometer.

"We have been looking forward to relocating to a larger, custom-designed facility for some time," said Zdzislaw Bober, country manager for Agilent Poland. "The building provides enhanced facilities for product development and manufacturing, and also provides a greatly enhanced working environment for all local employees. The space has been designed to comply with the strictest X-ray safety requirements, and this enables us to work more easily with higher intensity X-ray equipment."

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction systems are used for routine analytical chemistry and challenging small molecule and protein diffraction studies. The new facility is located only a few kilometers from Agilent's previous Wroclaw location, which the business has been steadily outgrowing as part of the Varian acquisition in 2010.
