Rubicon Technology Inc's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
We have several competitors that compete directly with us. We believe that the key competitive factors in our markets are:
consistently producing high-quality products in the desired size, orientation
and finish;
pricing;
driving innovation through focused research and development efforts;
producing large format high-quality crystal for certain applications;
providing U.S.-based source of sapphire for military applications; and
financial stability of the companies.
We believe the developing optical and industrial markets require cost effective high quality sapphire, large diameter sapphire products and ultra-thin double side polished windows and wafers, which we have the capabilities to provide while certain other sapphire producers may not. In addition, defense applications often require a U.S. based source for sapphire. We believe we continue to have a reputation for producing the highest quality sapphire in the market. We believe this positions us well with competitive advantages in the markets for optical and industrial sapphire.
