Plainview-based Veeco Instruments Inc. is expanding in Asia, with plans to open new offices in China, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and Japan.
The moves are meant to "better support the rapid growth of the LED industry and the needs of its customers," the company said. Veeco makes tools used to create light-emitting diodes, which are in high demand for laptop screens, PC monitors, flat-screen TVs and cell phones.
In Shanghai, China, Veeco will open a customer support and training center. In Hsinchu, Taiwan, it will build an applications center and demonstration laboratory.
In South Korea it will build an engineering and process-development center with tool-demonstration and customer-training facilities. In Singapore it will have an expanded manufacturing center and supply-chain hub.
In Japan the company will expand and change its sales office to a direct-sales operation instead of the current representative-sales office.
