UK-based Quantum Science expands into new manufacturing facility
Quantum Science Ltd of Daresbury, Warrington, UK — which is developing and commercializing INFIQ infrared quantum dot (QD) nanomaterials and technologies for infrared imaging and sensing markets — is expanding into a new manufacturing facility as it prepares for upcoming growth in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging and sensing markets.
The expansion will significantly enhance the firm’s ability to meet growing demand from its international customer base, with the market for SWIR imaging and sensing forecast to hit $2.9bn by 2028. The company’s INFIQ technology is said to facilitate high-performance SWIR capability at costs up to 1000 times lower than alternative technologies.
“Our expansion into the new manufacturing facility is a clear indication of our rapid growth and increasing market presence,” says CEO & founder Dr Hao Pang. “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 adds.
“This addition to our existing facility provides our team with a comprehensive hub for innovation and production, enhancing our production capacity and strengthening our position in the QD technology landscape. By centralizing 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, enabling Quantum Science to bolster production of its INFIQ QDs and lead-free QD technology. The new lab is co-located with Quantum Science’s existing R&D center and product development lab at Sci-Tech Daresbury and will feature increased storage capacity for consumables and inventory.
