QD company Quantum Science expands into new facility
Quantum Science, the UK headquartered expert in infrared quantum dot (QD) technology, is expanding into a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility as the company prepares for rapid growth in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging and sensing markets.
The company's INFIQ technology targets high-performance SWIR capability at costs up to 1,000 times lower than alternative technologies.
The expansion will enhance its ability to meet growing demand from an international customer base, with the market for SWIR imaging and sensing forecast to hit $2.9 billion by 2028.
Hao Pang, CEO and founder of Quantum Science, said: “As the demand for SWIR technology grows, we are seeing significant interest in our INFIQ QDs and QD inks – and the new facility will ensure that our supply of industry-leading QD technology keeps pace with our customers’ requirements.”
He added: “By centralising our R&D, product development, and now advanced manufacturing capabilities at Sci-Tech Daresbury, Quantum Science is proving itself as the leading partner for the growing SWIR technology community.”
Scale up and production processes will be moved to the new facility from January 2025, enabling Quantum Science to bolster the production of INFIQ QDs and lead-free QD technology.
The new lab is co-located with Quantum Science’s existing R&D centre and product development lab at Sci-Tech Daresbury, Cheshire.
