the Energy Focus to new potential customers

Speaking of the new facility, Philip Rose commented: “One of SAFC Hitech’s key objectives is to continue to provide leading materials technology solutions to drive functional performance in end use devices in the high growth markets we serve - for now and in the future. Following the March 2010 production expansion for TMG at our Bromborough, UK manufacturing site, this strategic investment in Shenzhen will continue to strengthen our position as a leading global supplier of reliable precursors for the HBLED market. This market is tailored to address the increased focus on improving efficiency and reducing energy costs through design and technology advances, which is driving the electronics sector to introduce more energy-conscious products and systems."Due to the rise in demand for LEDs, and in particular HBLEDs, we are increasingly engaged in customer collaboration activities throughout the Asia-Pacific region," added Dr. Geoff Irvine, VP of Marketing and Business Development at SAFC Hitech.

With 30 years experience in supplying precursors, our focus is on developing local infrastructure and manufacturing capacity in order to continue to offer customers a broad product range and novel delivery systems optimized for performance and cost of ownership. Our proprietary delivery systems like bubblers/ampoules and EpiFillTM, EpiVaporTM and EpiSensorTM are allied to strong application development and vertical integrated manufacturing.In addition to the enhanced manufacturing capacity, SAFC Hitech’s Kaohsiung site capabilities can handle and characterize highly specialized laboratory-scale chemicals and features a dedicated customer support center. The site also provides integrated inert atmosphere transfilling stations, state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation for the detection of ultra-low metallic and oxygen containing contaminants and dedicated cylinder preparation and packaging areas. The site is ISO 9001 certified for quality with work to acquire ISO 14001 certification for safety and environmental protocols in process.
