Dentium has established a dedicated manufacturing facility for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) cells at its ICT VINA II production base in Da Nang Hi-Tech Park, Vietnam, and has initiated preparations for mass production and commenced initial output.

This strategic expansion leverages Dentium's extensive expertise in high-precision ceramic technology, honed over years of manufacturing advanced medical devices. The move is significant not only as a diversification of its manufacturing capabilities into the green energy sector but also as a tangible entry into a new industry, directly applying its proven core technological strengths.

SOFCs are highly efficient energy generation devices that convert fuels like hydrogen, biogas, or natural gas into electricity at high temperatures. Driven by the global push for greenhouse gas reduction and the shift towards distributed power systems, demand for SOFCs is steadily increasing for applications in data centers, industrial sites, and medical facilities.

According to global market research firm Grand View Research, the worldwide SOFC market is projected to grow from approximately $1 billion in 2024 to $4.7 billion by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. This growth trajectory is attributed to rising global demand for high-efficiency, zero-emission power systems and the corresponding industry focus on securing a stable supply of core components.

While the SOFC industry is currently led by companies in the United States, Europe, and Japan focused on system commercialization and supply, Dentium's strategy is distinct. The company is specializing in the precision manufacturing of the core component—the cell—thereby securing a direct technological competitive advantage in the most critical stage of power generation.

In an SOFC system, the cell is where the electrochemical reaction that generates power occurs. Its stable operation at high temperatures demands exceptionally precise and robust ceramic materials and processing technologies. Due to this high technological barrier, commercialization has been limited to a few advanced nations. However, Dentium is leveraging its commercially proven ceramic manufacturing technology from the medical device sector to directly produce SOFC cell structures, and is now entering full-scale production.

The ICT VINA II project, Dentium's manufacturing investment in Vietnam, represents a $14 million USD commitment. The facility now housing the hydrogen fuel cell equipment is dedicated to the mass production of SOFC cells and is recognized as one of the largest foreign direct investment (FDI) manufacturing projects within the Da Nang Hi-Tech Park.

A representative from Dentium stated, "This new facility moves beyond technical evaluation to full-scale production readiness. We are confident that by leveraging the precision ceramic technology we have mastered in the medical device field, Dentium can play a substantive role in the hydrogen energy sector. We are positioning ourselves to make a meaningful contribution as an execution-focused manufacturing partner within the core component supply chain."

Dentium currently exports its dental implants and digital diagnostic equipment to over 78 countries worldwide. With this new facility, the company is strategically extending its core technologies into a new industrial domain. Future plans include the development of applied fuel cell components, research into new high-temperature ceramic-based materials, and phased expansions through global technology collaborations. As a technology company rooted in precision manufacturing, Dentium will continue to transcend traditional industry boundaries, driving sustainable technological growth and responsible industrial contributions.
