Plastic Logic Limited is a leading developer of plastic electronics technology. It develops and exploits new manufacturing processes which combine the power of electronics with the pervasiveness of printing.

The company's technology enables new product concepts in a wide range of markets including displays and sensors.
The technology has the potential to radically change the economics of key segments of the electronics industry. It enables revolutionary new applications by printing electronics on thin and flexible plastic substrates using a process scaleable for large area, high volume and low cost.

Founded in November 2000, as a spin-out from Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory, Plastic Logic is building on over 10 years of fundamental research by a world-class team. It is developing and exploiting a portfolio of intellectual property based on printing of active electronic circuits using advanced plastic materials.

It moved its headquarters to California in 2008 but retained its R&D functions in state-of-the-art clean room facilities on the Cambridge Science Park. Thee company has received investment of over $200m from a range of venture capital and other investors.
