Founded in Kingston in 1946 as Ulster Tool and Die, FALA Technologies provides contract manufacturing, engineering, and machine-building services for advanced equipment, with a particular focus on semiconductor applications. The engineer-owned company works from a 50,000-square-foot facility and is known for its proprietary cleanroom-grade ceramic bearings, which it introduced in 1999, alongside custom systems and semiconductor equipment. FALA also supports the next generation of manufacturing workers through New York State-certified apprenticeship programs.
