DR Laser

What DR Laser does

DR Laser (Wuhan DR Laser Technology Co., Ltd., 武汉帝尔激光科技股份有限公司) is a Chinese high-tech laser precision micro-nano processing equipment manufacturer headquartered in Wuhan Optical Valley. Founded in 2008 by Dr. Li Zhigang (a HUST PhD), the company has been publicly listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange ChiNext Board under stock code 300776.SZ since May 2019 (preceded by a 2015 NEEQ listing), and has 1,001–5,000 employees with R&D personnel accounting for approximately 30% of the workforce. The company operates R&D and production centers in Wuhan (HQ), Wuxi, Israel (established 2020), and Singapore (established 2022), and its products are exported to Japan, Korea, Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India, and Turkey under AEO Advanced Certification.

The company's product portfolio spans three business segments: (1) photovoltaic cell and module manufacturing equipment, including laser ablation, laser doping (SE), laser boron doping, TOPCon SE single-step doping, PTP non-contact laser print transfer, LIF laser-induced firing, LIA laser repair, laser micro-etching (for XBC), module laser welding, perovskite laser scribing, laser drilling, and laser scribing; (2) display panel and module manufacturing equipment, including laser mass transfer for Micro LED, OLED array repair, and Mini LED repair; and (3) semiconductor wafer manufacturing and packaging equipment, including panel-level and wafer-level TGV (Through-Glass Via) laser microvia, IGBT laser annealing, wafer laser hidden cutting, and wafer laser cleaning/thinning. DR Laser holds 350+ domestic and international patents and 140+ software copyrights covering these process technologies, with recognized pioneering positions in laser ablation, SE doping, laser print transfer, LIF, and TGV.

DR Laser generates revenue through direct B2B enterprise sales of capital equipment to large manufacturers, primarily on a quotation/bid basis. The company claims the #1 global market share in solar cell laser processing equipment (>80% in PERC+SE segments), with the world's top 10 solar cell manufacturers — including Trina Solar, Longi Green Energy, Canadian Solar, JA Solar, and Risen Energy — all as customers. Cumulative TOPCon SE single laser doping equipment orders and LIF (Laser-Induced Firing) equipment orders each exceeded 100GW capacity. The company's go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales teams, industry exhibitions (including SEMICON Southeast Asia 2023 and SNEC), strategic partnerships with research institutions (Jiangcheng Laboratory, HUST), and investor-relations engagement through the SZSE disclosure platform, where it has received a Grade A information-disclosure rating for five consecutive years.
