TAIPEI, TAIWAN – The increased demand for copper-clad laminate (CCL) has allowed Taiwan Union Technology (TUC) to return to its capacity expansion project at the Zhongshan, China plant.
 
The company initially decided to halt construction for one year, beginning in January, as the weak economy caused a drop in CCL demand.
 
Two CCL production lines are planned, providing a monthly capacity of 600,000 units. Trial production is scheduled for December, reports DigiTimes.
