Vitex Systems, Inc., a leading technology developer, licensor and engineering
service provider for thin-film encapsulation and moisture barrier films, today
announced that it has appointed Chyi-Shan Suen President and Chief Operating
Officer.
"Chyi-Shan has been instrumental in leading the business development efforts
of Vitex for the past several years. His efforts have led to Vitex's thin-film
encapsulation technology becoming the de facto standard in the flexible display
market and we have secured license agreements with major international film
and chemical producers. I am confident that his industry knowledge and business
acumen will lead the company to the next level," said Jack Saltich, Chairman
and CEO, Vitex Systems.
"Vitex has made great progress in the last few years, advancing its proprietary
Barix™ barrier technology, developing new applications, such as photovoltaic
and thin-film batteries, and growing the customer pipeline. We have eleven licensed
tools at customer sites today, and continue to build on this success with strong
interest from multiple domestic and international firms," said Suen.
"Our efforts have shifted from proving the technology to helping our customers
enter mass production. With a new, state-of-the-art R&D tool which we will
be receiving in June, we will continue enhancing our processes, developing new
applications and strengthening our intellectual property. This is an exciting
stage of growth for Vitex, and I am pleased to take on this role," Suen
continued.
Suen, 36, joined Vitex in July 2002 as Assistant Product Manager and was promoted
to Director of Sales and Marketing in 2005 and Director of Business Development
in 2008. Previously, he held engineering positions at AG Associates and Steag
