A Defining Year for Hummink’s Technology and Industrial Momentum
A deeptech company scaling up
In 2025, Hummink entered a new phase of expansion, consolidating its role in the field of high-precision micro-printing. With its proprietary HPCaP (High Precision Capillary Printing) process, the Paris-based startup is strengthening its global footprint, deploying new hardware in research institutions, publishing peer-reviewed science, and preparing the release of its first production-ready module. More than ever, Hummink positions itself at the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and industrial relevance.
International presence at key industry events
This year, Hummink showcased its technology at major global trade shows: Display Week, Semicon Korea, LOPEC, and Techblick. These events gather the world’s leading players in electronics, display technologies, printed systems, and advanced materials. For Hummink, these exhibitions provided the opportunity to engage directly with potential partners, present technical use cases, and gather valuable feedback from experts across Asia, North America, and Europe. Each appearance confirms the growing international interest in HPCaP’s benefits for precision, material efficiency, and sustainability.
Machine deployment at IMS Bordeaux: toward integration
As part of its roadmap toward industrialization, Hummink installed a new HPCaP machine at IMS Bordeaux, a renowned research institute in electronics and photonics. This installation marks a key step in demonstrating how its technology can be embedded in real research environments. It will serve both as a collaborative experimentation platform and a proof-of-concept center for industrial applications in areas such as printed electronics, sensors, and flexible circuitry.
New publication with CEA-Leti: scientific validation
Hummink also co-authored a new scientific publication in 2025 in collaboration with CEA-Leti, one of Europe’s leading applied research institutes in microelectronics. The study highlights HPCaP’s ability to achieve submicron-resolution patterning on advanced substrates, while reducing material waste and processing complexity. This publication solidifies Hummink’s scientific legitimacy and opens doors to new applications in photonics, bioelectronics, and micro-optics.
Announced modular printing head: launch expected by end of 2025
Another major announcement this year was the upcoming release of a modular HPCaP printing head, scheduled for late 2025. Designed to be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines, this new hardware solution represents a crucial milestone in making nano-imprinting truly scalable. With this plug-and-play approach, Hummink aims to support industrial partners looking to adopt high-resolution, energy-efficient processes without overhauling their entire infrastructure.
A trajectory built on science, sustainability, and scalability
In 2025, Hummink continues to prove that precision manufacturing doesn’t have to come at the expense of simplicity or sustainability. With increasing global traction, institutional collaborations, and upcoming commercial products, the company is preparing to transition from a high-potential deeptech to an industry-shaping innovator. The next step? Widespread adoption.
