Kopin Will Relocate Offices, Build Out Westborough Headquarters for Manufacturing
Kopin Corporation, a provider of application-specific optical systems and high-performance microdisplays, plans to expand with a new headquarters, which will support the company’s growing domestic manufacturing capabilities and could create up to 80 new jobs over the next five years. Plans call for Kopin to move its offices into a space formerly occupied by MassTech at 75 North Dr. in Westborough, while converting its existing headquarters at 125 North Dr. to manufacturing.
“MicroLED is opening new possibilities in how soldiers and pilots see critical information and how AI systems move data,” said Michael Murray, Kopin CEO. “Realizing that potential requires sustained investment in engineering talent, equipment and domestic manufacturing capacity. The Commonwealth’s support helps us build that capacity in Massachusetts, where Kopin has been innovating for more than 40 years.”
With the expansion projected to cost $80 million, the project is supported by an approximately $1.46-million Investment Tax Credit through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Economic Development Incentive Program and an $800,000 grant through the Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative.
