Hamamatsu announces completion of new manufacturing facility

07/05/2014

Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. has announced the completion of a new building at its Beijing Hamamatsu Photon Techniques, Inc subsidiary, to expand both its manufacturing capacity and research and development activities in China. Operations at the new building, located at the Langfang factory, have already begun.

The new building will improve the manufacturing capacity of two other existing factories at Beijing Hamamatsu Photon Techniques. It will be used for glass processing and scintillator manufacturing, which were previously located at the Yongqing factory. This move will allow the Yongqing factory to be used as a speciality facility for glass melting and other processes. The new building will also be used for the manufacture of non-photomultiplier tube (PMT) products, which will be transferred from the existing building to the new building. This move will allow the first building to be dedicated entirely to PMT manufacturing.
