Adesis, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Display Corporation recently opened its new, state-of-the-art chemistry laboratories in its 50,000-square-foot, New Castle, DE, facility.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Oct. 19, 2018, to commemorate this expansion with state and local officials, and other members of the Delaware community. Gov.John Carney, Sen. Tom Carper and the Delaware Prosperity Partnership (DPP) were in attendance.
“We are thrilled to celebrate the next milestone in Adesis’ continuing growth success,” said Andrew Cottone, Ph.D., President of Adesis, Inc. “Our achievements over the past 2.5 years have been bolstered by our growing scientific staff, Universal Display Corporation and the support of the Delaware government. “During this period, we have increased our headcount and scaled up operations by more than 100% and added new discovery and manufacturing capabilities.”
Announced in December 2017, the 6,000-square-foot expansion adds to the existing chemistry labs where scientists perform leading-edge discovery, development, and commercialization services.
The expansion is supported with a grant through the Delaware Strategic Fund and cooperation with state and local officials. With Gov. Carney’s establishment of a new public-private partnership, the Delaware Prosperity Partnership, Adesis was awarded a $445,224 grant. This grant helped to facilitate this recent multi-million-dollar laboratory expansion, which resulted in the creation of high-tech jobs.
“Our state may be small, but that means we really care about the success of companies like Adesis. It means we want to invest in our community, whether that’s by bolstering our strong workforce, crafting tax policy that creates certainty and encourages important research and development or prioritizing infrastructure that promotes growth,” said Sen. Carper.
“Adesis’ growth in Delaware underscores our state’s rich history of innovation and commitment to being business friendly,” said W. Kurt Foreman, president and CEO of Delaware Prosperity Partnership.
