In response to the growing global market demand, to enhance the global supply capacity of products and to strengthen Taiwan's position as a key production hub for the Nitto Group in the Asia-Pacific region, Taiwan Nitto Denko Corporation has invested NT$4.483 billion in renovating outdated factory facilities within the Kaohsiung Cianjhen Technology Industrial Park. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on December 4, 2024, to a new factory, which includes a basement level and five above-ground levels for manufacturing, R&D, and administrative purposes. The new factory will cover a leased area of 10,214 square meters and will integrate existing facilities within the park to optimize operational and production efficiency.
Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs, Ho Chin-Tsang, emphasized that since its establishment in the Kaohsiung Export Processing Zone in 1969, Taiwan Nitto Denko Corporation has not only provided high-quality products and services to its customers but also created numerous job opportunities, contributing significantly to Taiwan's economy. The additional investment underscores the company's unwavering support for Taiwan. Deputy Minister Ho highlighted in addition to providing PVC tapes to the global semiconductor and automotive industries, Nitto Denko Corporation has strong technology research and development and patent capabilities, which could help facilitate Taiwan's technological advancement. The new factory investment reflects the complementary relationship and mutual support between Taiwan and Japan in the semiconductor industry. Taiwan, Japan's fourth-largest trade partner, recorded a trade value of USD 75.769 billion in 2023, demonstrating the robust industrial collaboration between the two countries. Under geopolitics, Taiwan plays a pivotal role in the development of the global semiconductor industry and the reorganization of the supply chain. The government encourages both Taiwanese and foreign enterprises to continue investing in Taiwan, leveraging its industrial advantages to expand into international markets and solidify Taiwan's position on the global stage.
Taiwan Nitto Denko Corporation specializes in the production of high-performance PVC tapes and adhesive tapes for electronic components. With the steady rise in demand for electric vehicles and electronic products, the market for electrical insulation tapes continues to grow. The company is committed to improving product performance to meet market changes and maintain global leadership. In addition to PVC tapes, the company actively produces adhesive tapes for semiconductor manufacturing. Notable products include REVALPHA heat-release tape, which bonds strongly at room temperature and peels off easily upon heating. It is an ideal material to promote automated production and save manpower. Another innovative product, TEMISH acoustic membranes, features high breathability while effectively preventing moisture and dust ingress, making it ideal for electronic device protection.
The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIPs) noted that Taiwan Nitto Denko Corporation's new Kaohsiung factory symbolizes a milestone in its technological advancement and demonstrates its long-term commitment to Cianjhen Technology Industrial Park. The new factory will primarily produce PVC and electronic component adhesive tapes, enhancing Taiwan's competitiveness in the global supply chain, driving regional economic growth, and boosting the development of Kaohsiung's tech industries.
