Under the watchful eye of Philips Respironics staffer Juli Lewis, Nickolas Kubit and Nolan Johngarlo

[Media Release]-On Saturday, June 5, nearly 500 Philips Respironics employees, volunteers, family and friends gathered together to experience the new manufacturing facility at an activity-packed open house.
 
The venue was the Philips Respironics Manufacturing Facility, Westmoreland Business and Research Park, Upper Burrell, PA
 
The 172,000-square-foot LEED-certified building is a model for manufacturing and workplace excellence. Opened in 2009, the state-of-the-art facility is devoted to high volume production of sleep therapy systems. Philips Respironics also operates a second plant at its main campus in Murrysville. 
 
The activities of the day satisfied the whims of curious hands-on types to music-loving Guitar Hero fanatics. Events included guided plant tours, product demonstrations, a mock production line where children and adults alike could build a sleep therapy (CPAP) device, face painting and balloon art, X-Box Beatles Guitar Hero, exciting giveaways and a delicious picnic lunch. More than 60 employees volunteered their time and talents for the day.

Attendees also rallied together for a good cause by participating in a Chinese Auction raffle, which raised $570 for Operation Troop Appreciation. The non-profit works with military units to provide “wish list” items for deployed troops.
 
The event was hosted to give family members an opportunity to go behind the scenes and experience the new facility first-hand.
