Universal Vapor Jet Corporation (UVJC), a subsidiary of Universal Display Corporation, has inaugurated its global headquarters and research and development (R&D) centre in Singapore’s Mapletree Hi-Tech Park. The 8,000-square-foot facility will house the company’s headquarters, a state-of-the-art R&D centre, laboratory, and prototype manufacturing space to advance its Universal Vapor Jet Printing (UVJP) technology.
Over the next five years, UVJC plans to invest $36.5m (SGD 50m) in tools, equipment, and talent to accelerate the research and commercialisation of UVJP. Supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the initiative is expected to create high-value jobs in strategy, technology, and advanced engineering.
UVJP is a dry, solvent-free printing and deposition technology designed to meet the demands of precision additive manufacturing. “At UVJC, we’re not just building equipment, we’re building the foundation for the next generation of clean manufacturing,” said Chandran Nair, CEO of UVJC. The technology aims to open new possibilities across semiconductors, displays, life sciences, and clean energy.
The establishment of the Singapore headquarters underscores UVJC’s commitment to innovation and positions the city-state as a global hub for precision manufacturing. Collaborations with local research institutions, including several A*STAR Research Institutes, are planned to co-develop solutions that support greener and more precise production.
Steven V. Abramson, President and CEO of Universal Display Corporation, highlighted the significance of the new facility, stating it marks “a pivotal step in the evolution of Universal Vapor Jet Printing.” The move is expected to drive more efficient, cost-effective manufacturing across various industries.
