Construction of Expanded Facility Continues; QD Production to Commence in Q1
Annual Projected QD Volumes to Exceed Original Expectations
San Marcos, TX, Oct. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading American nanomaterial and cadmium free quantum dot producer and product company Quantum Materials Corp (OTCQB:QTMM) today provided an update on the expansion and construction progress of Tech City in Assam, India, and on the planned commencement of the production of QDXTM Dots there.
Originally planned to occupy 20,000 sq. ft., Tech City is now being constructed to a 75,000 sq. ft. footprint, with redesigned waste management and recycling systems to support the multi-story quantum dot laboratory and factory complex.
“Production of QDXTM Dots is expected to begin in Q1 2020, ahead of the completion of the entire facility,” said Dr. Tony Balchin, CEO of Amtronics India LLC, which is coordinating the project and is the licensee of QMC’s QDXTM Reactor technology. “Despite unprecedented monsoon rainfall in the region, our offsite prefabrication work has continued to allow for expedited installation onsite. Project funding is progressing as planned, which also allows us to advance onsite work.”
QMC intends to upgrade the reactors at Tech City to connect them to its QDXTM Ledger blockchain platform. This will allow the volume of quantum dot production, which is expected to be higher than originally budgeted, to be monitored and appropriate royalties recovered.
“We are grateful to Dr. Balchin and his team for their continued dedication to a timely completion of Tech City and look forward to hosting key Amtronics technical and laboratory staff for specialist training at QMC’s HQ here in San Marcos, Texas,” said Stephen B. Squires, President & CEO of Quantum Materials Corp.
Once Tech City goes live, QMC expects to begin earning royalties from the licensing of its technology in addition to the current and continued revenues from the provision of its QDXTM Reactor systems and ancillary equipment and services.
