New Facilities Expand Intematix' Capacity for Patent-Backed Phosphor Production and Nano-Materials R&DFREMONT, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- July 31, 2005 -- In response to rising demand for phosphors driven by solid state lighting and other industries, global merchant phosphor provider and materials discovery experts, Intematix Corporation, today announced the relocation of their corporate facilities to Fremont, California. "We have experienced tremendous acceptance of our White Lightning family of phosphors including our yellow, green and high-color rendering phosphors to name a few. This demand has required us to relocate our facility in order to dramatically increase our production capacity as well as increase our R&D adding new phosphors to our existing portfolio of offerings," says Intematix CEO, Ruediger Stroh. Intematix reports that the move to new facilities has enabled a substantial increase in phosphor production. The current capacity increase represents the ability to support the solid state lighting industry as LED production ramps into millions of devices per day. Key segments of the solid state lighting market that have been driving this tremendous demand at Intematix include backlighting, camera flash and keypad products. Recent presentations and discussions at Blue 2005, the advanced LED conference event held in Taiwan during May, have affirmed Intematix' strategies. "We are moving steadily closer to our goal of creating dramatic change in the solid state lighting industry landscape by offering an innovative merchant supply of patent-backed phosphors to that and other key markets, including plasma television and counterfeit detection applications. We have received numerous inquires from Asia, Europe, Australia and the US and expect a number of key design wins to be announced this year," adds Stroh. Along with the phosphor production capacity increases, Intematix has also expanded its R&D capacity in nano-materials development. According to Adam Andersen, VP of Operations, "A key strategic impact of our move has been a significant increase in the availability of new capacity in our Nano Discovery Engines which target nano-luminescence, nano-catalysis, nano-composites and nano-biomedical materials development."
