TAIPEI – PCB manufacturer Unitech Printed Circuit Board has invested NT$4 billion ($132 million) to build a new manufacturing base of high-density interconnect boards.
Unitech began building this 66,000 m2 manufacturing base in northeastern Taiwan in late 2010.
So far, the firm has completed construction of two factories, a total of 18,800 m2. The second factory has started trial production.
Unitech says the two buildings will be dedicated to production of four- and any-layer HDI boards to meet smartphone demand, with total output of 2 million units monthly.
Currently, the firm’s month HDI capacity is able to produce 8 million smartphones. The figure will increase to 10 million units after both factories start mass production, making Unitech the leading supplier of this kind in Taiwan, say reports.
