East Anglian contamination control specialists Guardtech are collaborating with dry room experts DryR to strengthen their overall delivery of advanced cleanroom and dry room facilities across a wide range of high-tech sectors.

WHEN IT COMES to fields like Semiconductor, Micro-electronics and Battery manufacturing, control is key.

These are no ordinary cleanrooms – they’re not your run-of-the-mill controlled environments.

These are expertly designed facilities, boasting ground-breaking sealing techniques, intricate HVAC systems and supreme desiccant technology.

For this reason, Guardtech have reinforced their position as a leading provider of controlled environments across an even wider spectrum than ever before through a strategic partnership with DryR.

By combining Guardtech's cleanroom construction expertise with DryR's advanced humidity and climate control technologies, the collaboration is enabling fully integrated solutions for industries where environmental precision is mission critical.

Guardtech bring more than 25 years of experience in delivering cleanrooms across sectors including Pharmaceuticals, Aerospace and Medical Devices, while DryR contributes specialist capabilities in ultra-low humidity control, dewpoint management and bespoke HVAC design.

Guardtech ISO Commercial Manager Andrew Cressey, who personally has a great deal of experience in delivering these kind of facilities over more than a decade, said: "Together, our companies can offer turnkey environments that achieve levels of control that are unparalleled.

"From concept design through to construction, commissioning to ongoing lifecycle support, our clients get a 'total cleanroom package' that is also unparalleled.

"With DryR's specialist application portfolio, we can now ensure we can support a wider range of High-Tech Engineering innovators with truly elite solutions."

DryR systems are engineered to control not only humidity but also temperature and overall room conditions, ensuring stable, fully managed environments for sensitive processes such as lithium battery production, Pharmaceutical manufacturing and Micro-electronics fabrication.

DryR specialises in ultra-low humidity dry rooms designed for gigafactories and research facilities, capable of achieving dewpoints down to -80°C using advanced desiccant systems.

These capabilities align closely with Guardtech's cleanroom envelope construction expertise, as demonstrated in a recent installation in Bristol, where the combined solution achieved exceptionally low infiltration and rapid environmental stabilisation for a Battery tech application.

"That project really helped to highlight how our collaboration delivers measurable performance benefits," added Cressey, "with infiltration reduced to just eight grams and highly stable low-dewpoint conditions achieved through sophisticated multi-stage sealing and integrated dry air handling systems."

Guardtech's own well-honed capabilities in Semiconductor and Micro-electronics, forged over many years of installing complex facilities, further reinforce the partnership’s value.

Their heritage large-scale construction business Cleanroom Solutions delivered a major ISO Class 5 cleanroom installation in Weilburg, Germany, showcasing their ability to deliver complex, high-spec environments that included modular ballroom layouts, bespoke airflow systems and precision temperature and humidity control for advanced optics and Semiconductor processes.

By integrating DryR's advanced dehumidification systems into such projects, the partnership enables even tighter environmental tolerances, improved energy efficiency and reduced operational costs.

DryR's dual-rotor technologies can cut energy consumption in drying processes by up to 35%, supporting more sustainable facility operation.

As demand grows across Semiconductor, EV battery and Micro-electronics markets, the combined expertise of Guardtech and DryR positions the partnership to deliver high-performance, scalable cleanroom and dry room solutions. With proven success across multiple case studies and a shared focus on engineering precision, the collaboration is set to play a key role in supporting the next generation of advanced manufacturing infrastructure.
