The company revealed that 21 of its Blu-ray production linemachines were ordered in the first quarter of the financial year.
On its website the company says that: "Since the end of theformat dispute in early January 2008, and with the strategic acquisition of theBlu-ray Disc systems business of Oerlikon, Singulus’ position in the Blu-rayDisc [market] continues to improve."
Lots of supply, not much demand
Stefan A Baustert, CEO of Singulus Technologies AG had thisto say about the results: "This means that orders for Blu-ray in the first yearof dual-layer technology has by far exceeded what we did at the start of DVD 11years ago with 17 machines."
