Taiwan-based PCB maker Unimicron Technology has set aside a capex budget of NT$4.946 billion ($153.19 million) for 2017, according to a Digitimes report. The company originally allocated a capex budget of NT$5.009 billion for 2016, but recently increased it to NT$11.748 billion, the highest in seven years.
The article cited a Chinese-language Commercial Times report that the increased budget for 2016 and the budget for 2017 are designed to finance Unimicron’s development of substrate-like PCB (SLP) products, as well as to ramp up the production capacity of HDI boards and automobile boards at its plant in Taoyuan.
