Zero Point Cryogenics joins Quantum and Microelectronics Park Chronicle Media — July 25, 2026Zero Point Cryogenics, a North American manufacturer of ultra-low-temperature cryogenic systems to support quantum technologies, will establish its first U.S. location at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park on Chicago’s South Side. “Illinois is building the world’s leading quantum ecosystem by bringing together the companies, researchers, manufacturers, and suppliers needed to turn breakthrough discoveries into real-world technologies,” said Gov. J.B. Pritzker. “Zero Point Cryogenics’ decision to establish its first U.S. location at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park is another example of that strategy delivering results. “Their investment strengthens the supply chain that supports quantum innovation, creates high-quality jobs, and reinforces Illinois’ position as the global capital of quantum technology.” With support from the state’s Manufacturing Illinois Chips for Real Opportunity Act Program, ZPC will establish its first U.S. location at the IQMP, co-locating its U.S. research and development, sales, and service operations. Additionally, as a supplier of cryogenic hardware, ZPC will support the needs of companies locating at or collaborating with the IQMP, strengthening the park’s quantum ecosystem. “We are thrilled to join this incredible complex,” said Chris Cassin, CEO and co-founder of Zero Point Cryogenics. “As Governor Pritzker executes on his vision for the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park, he is creating a vital, innovative ecosystem for the future. “Our presence here underscores the essential role cryogenics plays as foundational infrastructure for quantum computing, positioning us directly at the epicenter of this rapidly evolving industry. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to open Zero Point Cryogenics’ first international Innovation and Service Hub location than here in Illinois. The region offers an exceptional pool of world-class talent, making it the perfect collaborative community to better serve our thriving U.S.-based clients and partners.” The Illinois Department
