Clean rooms help Shelton company thrive
J.M. Coull, a full-service construction company, opened its new office in Shelton in April and has found that cleanliness, long a partner to Godliness, possesses a profit factor, as well.
“We have been working successfully in Connecticut for almost 10 years now and are currently working for a number of customers in Connecticut, so it makes good business sense for us put down roots in the area,” said Andrew Coull, president of J.M. Coull.
J.M. Coull, headquartered in Maynard, Mass., was founded in 1984.
“We’re new in Shelton,” said Thomas Zabel, senior business development executive of the Shelton office of J.M. Coull. “We’ve had substantial profits coming in over the past 10 years or so from the Connecticut area and we decided in order to service this area to put an office in Shelton.”
Besides general design and construction, J.M. Coull specializes in commercial clean rooms.
“A clean room is an environmentally sterile space that’s used for manufacturing and or laboratory purposes,” said Zabel. “It’s basically a space that takes all the dust, dirt and any atmospheric contaminants that you’d normally have in a manufacturing or laboratory space and ensures that the space is sterile.”
According to Zabel, there are varied levels of clean rooms, most of them associated with laboratory operations as well as pharmaceutical, medical and semiconductor manufacturing.
“These can be places that are relatively clean to an operating-room level of clean, where people are dressed in clean suits from head-to-toe,” said Zabel. “What makes these rooms specialized is the equipment, layout and filtration systems that need to be put in place. It also has to do with the types of materials that go into the building of these facilities.”
Zabel said clean room construction is a process of tailoring results to each client’s needs. The specialty has worked to the company’s advantage in the economic slump.
