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 upcoming growth in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging and sensing markets.
The expansion will significantly enhance Quantum Science’s ability to meet growing demand from its international customer base, with the market for SWIR imaging and sensing forecast to hit $2.9 billion by 2028. The company’s INFIQ® technology facilitates high-performance SWIR capability at costs up to 1,000 times lower than alternative technologies.
Dr Hao Pang, CEO and Founder of Quantum Science, said: “Our expansion into the new manufacturing facility is a clear indication of our rapid growth and increasing market presence. 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.”
“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 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 its industry leading 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 and will feature increased storage capacity for consumables and inventory.
