BLUGLASS APPOINTS GLOBAL VICE PRESIDENT OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

BluGlass Limited (ASX: BLG), a global leader commercialising a breakthrough platform technology called Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD), has appointed Brad Siskavich to a full-time role as Vice President of Business Development. Mr Siskavich will join the Company to, amongst other things, lead the expansion of the BluGlass custom services business, EpiBlu Pty Ltd, and is based in the US.

Brad Siskavich has more than 20 years’ experience in developing, marketing and commercialising new technologies in start-up and high-growth environments in the compound semiconductor, photovoltaic (solar), laser, photonics and optoelectronics industries. He has previously worked in senior research and business development roles at companies that include Emcore, Oxford Instruments and Masimo Semiconductor.

EpiBlu is the service arm and wholly-owned subsidiary of BluGlass and offers specialised custom epitaxy, foundry and characterisation services at its state-of-the-art facility in Sydney, Australia.

About BluGlass:

BluGlass Limited (ASX: BLG) is a global leader commercialising a breakthrough platform technology called Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD). BluGlass has invented a new process using RPCVD to grow advanced materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) and indium gallium nitride (InGaN). These materials are crucial to the production of high-efficiency devices such as power electronics applications and light emitting diodes (LEDs) used in next-generation vehicle lighting, virtual reality systems and device backlighting.

The RPCVD technology, because of its low temperature and flexible nature, offers many potential benefits over existing technologies including higher efficiency, lower cost, substrate flexibility (including GaN on silicon) and scalability.

BluGlass was spun off from Macquarie University in 2005 and listed in 2006.
