Superconductive
Components, Inc. Orders Equipment To Scale Production
Columbus, OH, 12 April 2007:
Superconductive
Components, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:
SCCI), dba SCI
Engineered Materials (SCI), a manufacturer of high quality sputtering targets
for select markets in the physical vapor deposition industry, today announced it
has ordered approximately $300,000 of new equipment to scale its production of
sputtering targets for thin film battery customers and to also expand
manufacturing capabilities of transparent conductive oxide targets for
photovoltaic applications in the solar industry.
The equipment is being acquired in response to
current and anticipated customer demand within the thin film battery and solar
markets. A portion of the equipment will be used to begin producing ceramic
rotatable sputtering targets for the solar industry. Rotatable targets are
being used in high volume applications and a growing number of solar
manufacturers are either currently moving toward this technology or plan to do
so.
Dan Rooney, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “SCI is
pursuing profitable opportunities to grow its customer base and leverage core
competencies through an expanding product portfolio. Transparent conductive
oxide targets are being requested by some of our solar customers and offer an
attractive alternative to traditional materials, which are in short supply and
subject to significantly increased demand from flat panel display
manufacturers. Accelerating growth in solar and flat panel displays is creating
new opportunities for SCI’s products. This new equipment should allow us to
increase our production beginning in the second half of 2007.”
