Kopin Expands Westborough, Massachusetts Footprint to Grow MicroLED Manufacturing

Kopin Expands MicroLED Manufacturing in Westborough, MA

Kopin Corporation, a provider of application-specific optical systems and high-performance microdisplays, announced plans to expand with a new headquarters in Westborough, Massachusetts, supporting its growing domestic manufacturing capabilities and potentially creating up to 80 new jobs over the next five years.

More room for MicroLED production

Relocating headquarters functions to 75 North Drive will free additional space at Kopin’s existing 125 North Drive facility for manufacturing expansion and future production programs. The company expects to strengthen domestic manufacturing of MicroLED and optical technologies for next-generation defense displays and its Neural I/o optical interconnect for AI infrastructure. New roles will span engineering, advanced manufacturing, semiconductor processing and other business functions.

The project is supported by an approximately $1.46 million Investment Tax Credit through Massachusetts’ Economic Development Incentive Program and an $800,000 grant through the Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative to fund advanced manufacturing equipment.

Michael Murray, CEO of Kopin Corporation said:

“MicroLED is opening new possibilities in how soldiers and pilots see critical information and how AI systems move data. Realizing that potential requires sustained investment in engineering talent, equipment and domestic manufacturing capacity.”
