The investment will target facility expansion at its Iksan plant in North Jeolla Province, the only circuit foil production base in South Korea. The company aims to raise annual maximum circuit foil capacity to 16,000 tons by 2027. It said the move is a pre-emptive investment aimed at both earnings recovery and market expansion.
