Diamond Quanta Establishes Manufacturing Center in North Bay
What happened
Diamond Quanta is establishing a process development center in Petaluma, North Bay, to build a pilot manufacturing system for diamond materials used in electronics and optics. The company, headquartered in Mountain View, announced the operation, which it calls “Diamond Valley.” Founder and CEO Adam Khan stated that Petaluma offers industrial infrastructure and skilled labor at lower costs than Silicon Valley. The initial operation is permitted for 10 highly skilled technical and advanced manufacturing positions.

Why it matters
The move establishes a major production and process development center outside of Mountain View. This expansion is expected to increase local economic activity and the tax base in the North Bay area. Diamond Quanta plans to produce its first locally manufactured parts within months.
