Cadmium free quantum dots largest producer +8 The largest global producer of cadmium-free quantum dots (CFQDs) is Nanosys, which was acquired in late 2023 by its longtime manufacturing partner and chemical manufacturer, SHOEI Chemical. Operating massive nanomaterial facilities in Silicon Valley and Japan, Nanosys is the leading foundry supplying these non-toxic nanoparticles.Here are the key players shaping the cadmium-free quantum dot landscape:Nanosys (SHOEI Chemical): Following the acquisition, SHOEI Chemical acts as the exclusive mass-producer of Nanosys' proprietary indium phosphide-based quantum dots. Their specialized manufacturing processes can produce enough material to supply tens of millions of displays annually.Nanoco Group: Based in the UK, Nanoco is a pioneer in heavy metal-free dots (known as CFQD). They have scaled up massive production capabilities at their facilities in Runcorn, Cheshire, to supply customers globally.UbiQD: Operating out of Los Alamos, New Mexico, this startup is heavily scaling up manufacturing for copper-based, cadmium-free quantum dots, primarily targeting agricultural and solar power applications.Avantama: A Switzerland-based company that produces heavy-metal-free perovskite quantum dots for consumer electronics and lighting that comply with strict global environmental regulations.
