Nov 17 16
Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. announced that it has agreed to enter into a capital and business alliance with SCIVAX Corporation establishing the volume production system capable of large-area nanoimprinting , extending the addressable market and expanding the application space for this low-cost microfabrication technology. This new business alliance will accelerate development of large-area nanoimprint while reducing the cost of large-format panels for big screen televisions, displays and digital signage while maintaining the high quality production standards. Toppan and SCIVAX have established a business model providing total solutions from application development, to prototyping, to volume production. Sample shipments of large-area nanoimprint products are expected in 2017. Toppan will acquire more than 25% of SCIVAX shares to become the large shareholder . The two companies will integrate Toppan’s semiconductor photomask lithography technologies and master mold manufacturing technologies with SCIVAX’s optical designing and nanoimprinting fabrication technologies. The resulting business will provide comprehensive services from application development, and manufacturing of molds, to end product manufacturing.

....just getting a feel for Toppan as they want 25% of Scivax; makes me think some will want a good size bite of QMC as companies are positioning for the future.
