4/4/2008 Order from DSI in Singapore for Obducat´s Eitre® NIL system
OBDUCAT AB, the leading supplier of lithography solutions based on NanoImprint Lithography and Electron Beam Lithography, is pleased to announce the receipt of an order from DSI (Data Storage Institute) in Singapore. DSI, widely regarded as one of the top ranked elite Centers of Excellence dedicated to research and development for the information storage industry, has placed an order for an Eitre® 6 HDD NanoImprint Lithography system. The Eitre® 6 HDD system is a NIL system customized for research and development work within the field of pattern media related to hard disks. The order value is 4 million SEK.
Today a substantial share of all hard disk media is produced in Singapore, by companies such as Hitachi Global Storage, Seagate, Hoya, Fujitsu and Showa Denko, and this share of the hard disk media market is projected to expand to 50% by 2011. DSI has built a strong reputation in this industry with an extensive network of partnerships with major data storage companies in Singapore and around the world.
Obducat will, as a result of the purchase agreement, be able to use DSI’s facilities as a reference and demonstration site.
“This is an important step for Obducat. Our long-standing presence in the HDD area has given us an edge in terms of performance and scalability, which are key issues for the industrialization of pattern media. The fact that DSI, one of the absolute key players within HDD research and development, choose Obducat’s NIL technology further strengthens our position. We also see this order from DSI as a starting point of a longer and deeper relationship with DSI.”, says Patrik Lundström, CEO of Obducat AB.
