Hamamatsu Photonics Announces New Joko Factory Building for Increased Image Measurement Device Production

Hamamatsu Photonics will construct a new factory, Building No 5 at the Joko factory site 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 was held on 20 April 20 2021, and the new factory building will be completed in June 2022.

Hamamatsu Photonics develops, manufactures, and sells 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, the company intends to boost their production capacity of image measurement devices to 1.7 times the current level after constructing this new factory building.
