Creation Technologies, an end-to-end, scalable Specialty Global Electronic Manufacturing Services provider, proudly celebrated the official ribbon-cutting ceremony of its newly expanded Denver Product Realization Center on Monday, May 12, 2025. The event marked a key milestone in Creation’s continued growth and investment in its rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing capabilities.
The 40% expansion increases the facility’s footprint to 45,000 square feet and supports the rising demand from customers in Aerospace & Defense, Medical Devices, and Tech Industrial markets. The Westminster-based site now offers expanded space for engineering services, test development, and manufacturing, while maintaining its focus on quick-turn prototype builds and small-batch production.
“We’re excited to celebrate this next chapter for our Denver team,” said Patrick L. Freytag, CEO of Creation Technologies. “The expansion enhances our ability to support customers launching complex, high-reliability products, and reflects the extraordinary performance of this team in delivering speed, quality, and innovation.”
As Creation’s Product Realization Center, the Denver site is uniquely equipped to support early-stage design and development efforts with services that include:
- Engineering prototype builds
- Design for Manufacturing and Test reviews
- Advanced SMT production with three identical MyData lines, one dedicated to prototyping
- Electro-mechanical assembly, conformal coating, functional testing, and full system integration
The site employs over 100 professionals, including dedicated engineering, quality, program management, and supply chain teams. With certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 13485, AS9100D, ITAR registration, and J-STD Rev H Space Addendum, the facility operates at the highest levels of quality and regulatory compliance.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony brought together Creation leadership, team members, customers and community partners to commemorate the site’s growth and highlight its vital role in helping customers bring new products to market efficiently and reliably.
