Factory Producing Electrodeposited Copper Foils for Printed Circuit Boards by Applying Traditional Arts and Introducing Advanced Technologies: Kyoto Factory of Fukuda Metal Foil & Powder Co., Ltd.

摘要

The Japanese electrodeposited copper foil manufacturing technology has taken the lead in the world's market by merit of its sophisticated technologies, but the pursuit by Southeast Asian countries with low selling prices as their selling points is intensive indeed, making a loss in Japan's share of the market unavoidable. Against this backdrop, the company has established a research department in its compounds and striving to develop foils which are increasingly thinner and stronger, also developing a new surface treatment technology. In addition, to cope with low-priced counterparts, the company is also striving to attain higher added values as by manufacturing electrodeposited copper foils for use by its portable telephone and high-tech departments.
