The company will also produce new medical-grade adhesives for future customer applications and requirements.

Delo sees its stronger focus on medical electronics as an opportunity to help customers develop innovations. One such solution is lab-on-chip technology, which uses semiconductors to detect and monitor the development of diseases. Delo will be able to contribute here with its knowledge in optoelectronics and miniaturisation.

Managing director Dr. Karl Bitzer said: “For our future customers, we will also release more specialised medical-grade products and, more importantly, bring our semicon manufacturing, miniaturisation, and equipment expertise to market, enabling and supporting our customers to develop astonishing new products, scaling up production and efficiently mass-manufacture them.”
