ISSYS makes room for 10-20 new hires in Ypsilanti

ISSYS isn't just making plans to add to its staff of nearly 30 people. It's actually building out more space so that it can accommodate between 10-20 new people by the end of the year.

ISSYS is adding 5,400 square feet to its Ypsilanti offices in the industrial area by Willow Run. That new space would include a new clean room laboratory, bringing the company up to 16,000 square feet. Work is expected to be done by February.

"We got the clean room walls up," says Doug Sparks, vice president of ISSYS. "We're putting the piping in now."

ISSYS (short for Integrated Sensing Systems) spun-off from the University of Michigan in 1995 and uses micro fluids and sensors for research in products like fuel cells. It recently formed a partnership with Switzerland-based Endress + Hauser to license some of its microchip technology.
