Mass Lamination Sales Decline Print E-mail
Written by Margo Lakin   
Friday, 19 September 2008
TAIWAN and CHINA– Everyone is feeling the effects from the weak economy. Mass lamination services of copper clad laminate (CCL) are predicted to see a 30% decline during the third quarter, according to a DIGITIMES’ report, as PCB makers cut back on outsourcing. Elite Material (EMC) has postponed a new mass lamination production line until October, as well as curtailed expansion at its Zhongshan, China, plant, possibly resulting in a decline in the company’s utilization rate and profits for the second half of 2008. Taiwan Union Technology (TUC) plans to increase its production process and new customer base, while improving management and capacity usage at the Hsinchu plant, as a way to counteract its reported $3.73 million in losses for 2007
