In view of the need to increase production capacity, one of Obducat’s US
customers has placed an order for an additional industrial NIL machine
(Nano Imprint Lithography). Using the NIL technology provided by Obducat,
the customer produces optical components forming part of a consumer
electronics product supplied by Samsung, which will be introduced on the
market in May 2006. This is a breakthrough for Obducat’s NIL technology at
mass production. The new order entitles the customer to exercise the option
to upgrade the purchased equipment to a fully automated industrial NIL
machine. Delivery will be effectuated in May.
When the first industrial NIL machine was purchased for pilot production,
the customer aimed to commence NIL based mass production within two years.
This has now come about earlier than previously planned. Obducat expects to
have a fully automated industrial NIL machine ready for delivery at the end
of the year at which time the customer expects to further increase its
production capacity as a first step of a larger anticipated expansion plan.
At present a non-disclosure agreement at the request of the customer
prevents Obducat from disclosing further details of the business
transaction.
– We are very pleased that Obducat’s NIL technology is now being used for
mass production of components that will shortly be found in consumer
products on the market, say´s Patrik Lundström, CEO. It is enormously
positive that the customer has needed to bring plans forward compared with
our expectations and we do not rule out that this breakthrough could have a
positive effect on other ongoing industrial customer relations. Presently
Obducat has a number of ongoing customer relations with the potential of
resulting in further orders for NIL technology for industrial mass
production of various components.
The Company’s chairman of the board, Henri Bergstrand, comments:
– We have now seen a breakthrough for Obducat. I wish to commend the
management team and the staff for the hard work that lies behind this
breakthrough. At the same time I would like to thank our shareholders for
their active interest and long-term ownership perspective in the company.
