Construction of a New Factory Building at the Shingai Factory

Hamamatsu Photonics will construct a new factory building at the Shingai Factory (Shingai-cho, Minami-ku, Hamamatsu City, Japan) to cope with increasing sales demand for opto-semiconductors, X-ray image sensors and X-ray flat panel sensors. The new factory building will be completed in August 2020.

Hamamatsu Photonics has been supplying opto-semiconductor products for a wide range of applications and fields such as medical diagnosis and treatment, industrial instrumentation, automotive and scientific measurement. Recently, there has been increasing demand for plastic-molded opto-semiconductors mass-producible in large quantities as well as for X-ray image sensors and X-ray flat panel sensors used in radiation inspection devices. We expect a further increase in sales of these products over a diverse spectrum of fields.

Construction of this new factory building will help us build up our production system for opto-semiconductors, X-ray image sensors, and X-ray flat panel sensors. This will also consolidate our opto-semiconductor production processes that are currently located in different locations at the Shingai Factory and associated companies. These production processes will now all take place in the new factory building where we can streamline production efficiency and create a more robust supply system through labor-saving and automation. To boost X-ray image sensor and X-ray flat panel sensor production, we will speed up product development by consolidating design, development and evaluation into a single area and will also streamline our supply system by way of production processes located on the same floor to respond to constantly growing demand.

To ensure business continuity against natural disasters which are increasing in recent years, we will make anti-disaster measures more robust by incorporating earthquake and flood control measures into the building structure of the new factory based on our business continuity planning. At the same time, the new factory building is designed to actively incorporate eco-friendly measures such as LED lighting, heat-insulated walls, solar power plant and rainwater reuse systems.

“Hamamatsu Photonics has been supplying opto-semiconductor products for a wide range of applications and fields such as medical diagnosis and treatment, industrial instrumentation, automotive and scientific measurement”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hamamatsu Photonics UK Ltd

We, the members of Hamamatsu, consider ourselves a research and development company. As a company, we believe that the only way to achieve sustainable growth is to maintain our technological advantages. It is our job and passion to advance photonic technologies. Hamamatsu has been working with the Photon for more than 50 years. We have established ourselves as the top company of photoelectron conversion technologies in the world. However, we have yet to fully grasp the nature of the Photon and its potential. The more you study, the more you realise how little you know about the Photon and its applications. That is why we continue to move ahead vigorously with basic research and apply what we learn to photonics. We realise that pursuing the knowledge of photonics technologies alone, by ourselves, is like reaching for the stars with a ladder. Thus we will work together with colleagues around the world, be they researchers, customers or stockholders, who share our passion and the belief that understanding photonic technologies will lead to broader applications and also generate new industries for the advancement of humankind.

At Lovibond® we have understood the importance of water for a long time, and since World Water Day and its motto “The Value of Water” it has become clear: we are living in the middle of a global water crisis.
