Mitsui Chemicals Tohcello, Inc. richt nieuw bedrijf in Taiwan op
Versterking voor ICROS™Tape als reactie op toegenomen vraag naar halfgeleiders
TOKIO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. (Hoofdkantoor: Minato-ku, Tokio; President & CEO: Tsutomu Tannowa) heeft bekendgemaakt dat zijn dochteronderneming Mitsui Chemicals Tohcello, Inc. (hoofdkantoor: Chiyoda-ku, Tokio, president & ceo: Yoshihisa Fujimaki) een bedrijf in Taiwan opricht voor de productie van ICROS™Tape, een soort tape voor het vervaardigen van halfgeleiders.
ICROS™Tape heeft een beschermende werking. De tape heeft wereldwijd het grootste marktaandeel als beschermingstape bij het fijn slijpen van silicium wafers. De markt voor halfgeleiders groeit, wat deels is toe te schrijven aan de gegroeide vraag naar mobiele terminals. De vraag blijft naar verwachting in rap tempo stijgen, mede doordat de halfgeleiders in trek zijn voor datacenters en toepassingen van het Internet of Things.
