On 6 December 2010, Ultratech officially opened its Singapore-based advanced manufacturing facility at Kaki Bukit View. The event was attended by Leo Yip, Chairman, Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and 200 guests who later toured the facility.

Ultratech is a leading supplier of lithography and laser-processing systems used to manufacture semiconductor devices and high-brightness LEDs (HB-LEDs). The new manufacturing facility is capable of producing over 100 lithography steppers annually for the advanced packaging and the HB-LED markets. It will also produce modules for laser spike anneal systems (LSA). In addition to providing engineering support in Singapore, the facility will serve as headquarters for Ultratech's global service operations and Asia Pacific sales organisation. In the next few years, Ultratech plans on spending more than US$125 million (S$160 million) in support of its Singapore International Operations.

"After an extensive study in Asia Pacific, we selected Singapore for several business reasons, including being conveniently located to Ultratech's served markets. We expect 75 per cent of our businesses to be located in the Pacific region, and with this new facility in Singapore, Ultratech can better serve customers from Thailand to Taiwan," said Arthur W Zafiropoulo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ultratech.
