Hamamatsu Photonics will construct a new factory, Building No. 5 at the Joko factory site (Joko-cho, Higashi-ku, Hamamatsu City, Japan) to handle expanding sales of image measurement devices and equipment such as digital cameras for scientific measurement, digital pathology slide scanners, and semiconductor failure analysis systems. The ground breaking ceremony for the new factory building is scheduled to be held on April 20, 2021, and the new factory building will be completed in June 2022.
At Hamamatsu Photonics, we develop manufacture and sell a broad spectrum of image measurement devices and equipment that have high speed, high sensitivity, and high resolution, making them ideal for a range of applications including medical, industrial and academic fields. Currently there is an increasingly large demand for digital cameras for scientific measurement, digital pathology slide scanners, and semiconductor failure analysis systems. Since growing sales of these devices are predicted from now on, we intend to boost our production capacity of image measurement devices to 1.7 times the current level after constructing this new factory building.
