TAIWAN – Copper Clad Laminate (CCL) manufacturers in Taiwan are said to be considering a 5% to 10% price increase in April, due to rising copper costs.
According to company reports,
ITEQ,
Taiwan Union Technology (TUC) and
Uniplus Electronics
are all considering price increases, but are holding off until a
clearer picture of customer demand can be determined.
However, other
reports say a single-digit price adjustment will take place for
high-end CCLs in April, without increases for other classes.
Despite an increase in price, Taiwan's CCL manufacturing is expected to grow 20% in 2008, according to industry estimates.
