Quad group took over Honeywell sapphire substrate business technology production

Quadruple group through the acquisition of Honey Well Company in the United States sapphire business in Canada to set up wholly-owned subsidiaries -- Canada four sapphire Co. Ltd, has recently officially registered, the relevant personnel training are all in place. This means that the group has fully taken over Honeywell sapphire business.

"It was a very successful acquisition. Four group chief economist Liu Shaoyun said, according to the understanding of the industry, the success includes the following three meanings: "- sapphire wafer (chip) - package - LED lamps" the increasing "Pyramid" industrial structure; Honeywell has Blaupunkt stone substrate research and development capabilities as well as downstream of the North American and European market only have the ability to become the domestic enterprises; large-scale processing of high-quality sapphire substrate, occupy the booming domestic market.

It is understood that LED is energy saving technology and industry of the world's most promising, as the most important LED wafer and chip based product material sapphire material, is the international high-end LED chip industry upstream technology products, its production technology mainly lies in Japan and the United States and other developed countries. At present, although there are a number of sapphire substrate manufacturing enterprises, but because the product quality can not meet the needs of the industry, so the domestic enterprises sapphire substrate almost all rely on imports. At the same time, the international market for sapphire materials, especially the large size of a serious shortage of materials.

After the successful acquisition of Honeywell sapphire business, on the one hand, the group will continue to promote the development of the United States on behalf of the Canadian factory sapphire business, which is positioned as the North American market center and global R & D center. At present, the domestic market demand for sapphire is still stuck in 2 inches of products, and the Canadian plant has been able to mature production of 4 inches of products, and launched a research and development of a product of 6 inches. Therefore, the group received the plant, its original business model transformation, thereby reducing the overall cost, and further consolidate the status of the plant in the U.S. and European markets. Liu Shaoyun said, on the other hand, the group will also set up a semiconductor lighting industry park in Chongqing, large-scale development of related industries.

It is reported that the sapphire factory, LED packaging factory and lighting factory in the industrial park will start construction this year, a total investment of 400 million yuan, 1 billion 500 million yuan in 2012 after the completion of the formation of sales value, its products are mainly for China and Asia Pacific market. By then, Chongqing will become the world's first low-cost LED substrate substrate supply base, in solving the development of the domestic LED industry core bottleneck while contributing to the formation and growth of the local LED industry chain.
