While most factories had closed their doors for the night yesterday, over 300 San’an Optoelectronic (San’an Opto) employees were hard at work burning the midnight oil, to pump out new wafers to meet increasing demands. 

San’an Opto has been bombarded with orders from clients all over the LED industry. Orders of over RMB 100 million (US $) have flown in non-stop, surpassing the company’s current production capacity. In order to satisfy client orders, San’an Opto has put three factories in Xiamen, Wuhu, and Tianjin into over drive, keeping production running 24 hours a day. 

San’an Opto is focusing on two main investment projects this year, said Wang Qing, Secretary of the Board, San’an Opto. The first is an LED production expansion plan, which will be implemented in two phases. San’an Opto will inject a total of RMB 5 billion during the first phase in first half of 2015. The second investment project is the establishment of a semiconductor wafer and chip related project.
