Hitachi Chemical's Copper-Clad Laminate Subsidiaries Converted into Wholly-Owned
March 28, 2016 | Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd. announces the acquisition of a 25% stake each in its two subsidiaries, Hitachi Chemical Electronic Materials (Hong Kong) Limited and Hitachi Chemical Electronic Materials (Guangzhou) Limited, from MTG Laminate (BVI) Limited to convert them into wholly-owned subsidiaries, effective March 18, 2016.
In November 2011, Hitachi Chemical raised its shares in the two subsidiaries that manufacture copper-clad laminates for printed wiring boards to 75% to include as consolidated subsidiaries. This allowed Hitachi Chemical to establish supply systems for copper-clad laminates in the southern and eastern parts of China, major production areas for multilayer wiring boards and semiconductor-related packages used for servers and routers in IT infrastructure as well as high-density wiring boards for modules, offering the opportunity to expand market sales in China and Taiwan region.
At the present time, Hitachi Chemical has acquired an additional 25% stake in both its subsidiaries from MTG Laminate (BVI) Limited to integrate these companies as wholly-owned subsidiaries and enhance its business base in the copper-clad laminate division of Hitachi Chemical Group while taking advantage of the Group's resources. This integration will facilitate quick decision-making and accurate understanding of market trends and needs, contributing to higher levels of customer satisfaction.
Hitachi Chemical will further strengthen and expand its copper-clad laminate business and continue to provide products that meet customer needs.

Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?
