Several countries in southeast Asia at present, including the most important of which circuit board manufacturers. This block has become Japan's investment area of PCB manufacturers is very important, there are several base material factory has been in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and other places has a production base.
Japan's Mining (Nippon Mining,) in the Philippines has a copper foil factory in operation, and sumitomo Metal Mining and metallurgy (Mitsui Metal & Smelting) in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia also have a the world's largest copper foil factory. As for Hitachi chemical, is a pretty big dry film factory in Malaysia's Johor (Johor) production, the company in the coming months there will be millions of dollars in expanding factory plan. But beyond that, the local no circuit board manufacturing resources, nor equipment manufacturers in the local operation.
In order to avoid the risk of future, Japanese manufacturers have to invest heavily in China, and they will invest in will have over the years the main center of gravity shifted to southeast Asian countries, will shift the significant investment by the Chinese mainland southeast Asia.
2, in southeast Asian countries the status of the circuit board production
Although is affected by the severe flooding in Thailand last nine to November, Thailand in 2011, printed circuit board industry still maintains the largest output value of one billion three hundred and fifty-seven million dollars of output, it mainly comes from two Japanese soft plate factory, qisheng (Nippon Mektron) with rattan (Fujikura) between the two companies. If plus they assembly production, Thailand flooding has affected the overall soft plate production will be down about $two million above, the whole circuit board output value of close to $1.
Second in the country is Malaysia, currently has more than Singapore market. Another Singapore state of circuit board industry will continue to shrink, while Malaysia will turn because of Japan's factory effect strong investment and sustained growth.
Outside Vietnam is Thailand Japan's soft board manufacturers overseas investment at a time sequence, while in the Philippines have "Ibiden" factories in operation, how might future ranking also look at Ibide the investment strategy of next.
Indonesia is the largest country in the southeast Asian country span, thing about 5000 kilometers across the distance, and has a population of two hundred and forty million people. Basically the country should have a fairly good business potential, but so far only three local circuit board factory, and I know the possible 4 factories would move from South Korea factory to come over to the owners.
