GEORGE TOWN: Taiwan-based copper-clad laminate manufacturer Elite Material Co Ltd (EMC) is investing RM900 million to set up Penang Science Park North facility. The facility is expected to generate monthly revenue of RM150 million at a maximum production of 750,000 copper-clad laminate sheets. Dong said EMC is the only copper-clad laminate maker using its own technology, aside from those in South Korea and Japan. But we are even more excited to embark on this new chapter in Southeast Asia with the establishment of our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Penang. We are confident that our presence in Malaysia will bolster the semiconductor industry and the local printed circuit board industry since we are also an (integrated circuit) substrate material manufacturer," he said.
