Construction of multi-layer board (MLB) and high-end high-density interconnect (HDI) plants for Kinwong Electronic (Zhuhai) Co commenced in the Gaolan Port Economic Zone on Oct 12.

The project costs 5 billion yuan ($707.5 million) and covers 157,000 sq m (39 acres). The two plants are expected to operate by March 2021, producing 3 million sq m of HDI printed circuit boards (PCBs) and 2 million sq m of flexible printed circuits (FPCs) annually.

Kinwong Electronic (Zhuhai) was established in August 2017 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Kinwong Electronic Co. It is one of the few domestic enterprises that produce PCBs, FPCs, and metal printed circuit boards (MPCBs).

The world-renowned electronic circuit supplier has sold products across the globe where they are widely used in the communications, computer and network equipment, consumer and automotive electronics, and industrial control industries.

MLB and HDI are regarded as the core driving force of future industrial growth. The development of the new-generation information technology imposes high demand for communication devices, Internet of Things, new-generation servers, and high-end consumable and automotive electronics, said Liu Shaobai, chairman of Shenzhen Kinwong Electronic Co.
