奥特斯扩建重庆,布局新一代高科技印制电路板|AT&S expands Chinese site Chongqing by next generation of high-tech printed circuit boards

发布日期: 2015年04月29日
  • 奥特斯为核心业务布局,生产科技印制电路
  • 截止2017年,重庆工厂的投资额将由目前的3.5亿欧元增至4.8亿欧元
  • 重庆半导体封装载板项目现处于产品认证阶段,计划于2016年量产

奥特斯是全球领先的高端高密度互连印制电路板及多层互连印制电路板的制造商。随着行业大趋势对微型化与模块化的需求不断攀升,愈发加快了高端印制电路板技术与半导体技术结合。奥特斯在涉足半导体封装业务后(项目目前处于产品认证阶段),开始布局新一代技术,即扩建重庆之举,对于其核心业务的增长具有重大意义。

为保持在高端市场获得长期持续的盈利,奥特斯将通过对新一代高端印制电路板的产能扩建,进一步挖掘市场契机。该产品被称为系统级封装印制电路板(substrate-like PCBs)。经监事委员会一致同意后,集团董事会正式决定向重庆增资扩建。截止2017年中期,计划增资额将陆续从当前的3.5亿欧元扩大至4.8亿欧元。

扩建的重庆二期项目预计于2016年下半年投产,并基于上海与重庆两地工厂在技术,流程工艺及管理水平三方面的紧密合作。系统级封装印制电路板的技术开发已在上海进行且于今年完成首批量产。重庆新厂有望于2016年下半年启动大规模量产。

所需资金将通过改善现金流并利用现有信贷额度的方式进行融资。重庆半导体封装载板项目现处于产品认证阶段,计划于2016年投产,当年即可产生收益。

  • AT&S positions itself for the next technology generation in its high-end PCB core business
  • Total investments at the Chongqing plant will be increased from EUR 350 million to roughly EUR 480 million by 2017
  • Ramp-up of the substrate plant currently undergoing qualification in Chongqing still scheduled for 2016

AT&S is one of the globally leading manufacturers of high-end HDI and any-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs). Key trends in this industry include the ongoing miniaturisation and increasing modularisation. As a result of this development, high-end PCB technologies merge faster and faster with the technologies required by the semi-conductor
industry.

In addition to the entry into the IC substrate business, which is currently in its start-up phase, this opens up significant new potential for AT&S to position itself for this next technology generation in the core business at an early stage.

To maintain the long-term and sustainable profitable growth in the high-end sector, AT&S will explore this market potential by building new capacities for this next generation of PCBs, so-called substrate-like PCBs. With the consent of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board has decided the required investments at the Chongqing site. The
planned investment volume will consequently increase from EUR 350 million to some EUR 480 million by mid-2017.

The start of production for this technology is expected for the second half of the calendar year 2016 and is based on a close cooperation between the two AT&S sites in Shanghai and Chongqing. Synergies will be leveraged above all in the areas of technology, process know-how and management capacities: technology development of substrate-like PCBs
initially takes place in Shanghai plant with first quantities produced already in calendar year 2015. High volume mass production of SLPs expected to start second half of calendar year 2016 at new plant in Chongqing.

The additional investments required will be financed through improved cash flow and using existing credit facilities. The ramp-up of the substrate plant in Chongqing, which is currently undergoing qualification, is expected as planned with the first revenues in the calendar year 2016.

AT & S Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik AG – first choice for advanced applications

AT&S is the European market leader and one of the globally leading manufacturers of high-value printed circuit boards. AT&S industrialises leading-edge technologies for its core business segments Mobile Devices, Automotive, Industrial, Medical. In 2013, AT&S took the next logical step in the high-tech strategy by entering the IC substrate business through a collaboration agreement with a leading global semiconductor manufacturer. As an international growth enterprise, AT&S has a global presence, with production facilities in Austria (Leoben and Fehring) and plants in India (Nanjangud), China (Shanghai, Chongqing under construction) and Korea (Ansan, near Seoul). The company currently employs about 8,000 people. For more information www.ats.net
