FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Pittsburgh, PA, Mar. 27, 2026 - Opulo, maker of the LumenPnP desktop pick-and-place machine, today announced its relocation to the penthouse suite of the historic Forbes Pride Building in Pittsburgh's Uptown neighborhood. The move expands the company's operations nearly fourfold, increasing production capacity to meet growing demand for desktop SMT assembly equipment. "We couldn't be more excited to move into the Forbes Pride building," said Stephen Hawes, CEO of Opulo. "It will give us the space we need to grow production capacity, expand our engineering department, and finally be able to keep up with demand." The new 13,200-square-foot facility will house machine assembly, quality control testing, prototyping, and office space. The expansion includes a full loading dock and enables Opulo to produce at a surplus for the first time, positioning the company to explore global warehousing and new distribution channels. The Forbes Pride Building is located directly on Pittsburgh's Bus Rapid Transit line and within the Keystone Innovation Zone, providing convenient access for Opulo's growing team and qualifying the company for state tax benefits.
