Mitsubishi Gas Chemical expands BT materials production at MGC Electrotechno Thailand
- Mitsubishi Gas Chemical will expand manufacturing and product inspection facilities at MGC Electrotechno (Thailand) to increase production capacity for BT materials used in semiconductor packaging.
- New prepreg manufacturing equipment for copper clad laminates will be installed and product inspection capacity will be expanded to increase shipping capability.
- The expansion targets rising demand for FC‑BGA substrates, driven by growth in semiconductor packaging for data‑center and server applications.
- MGC operates a two‑site supply structure (Japan and Thailand) established since 2013 for business continuity; MGC‑ETT has focused on low‑mix, high‑volume production and an expansion plant was completed there in 2025.
Project scope
Mitsubishi Gas Chemical will expand manufacturing and product inspection facilities at its Thai subsidiary, MGC Electrotechno (Thailand) Co., Ltd. The work includes installation of new prepreg manufacturing equipment for copper clad laminates and enlargement of inspection capacity to increase shipping throughput for BT materials used in semiconductor packaging.
Market rationale
The move responds to overall expansion of the electronic materials market and continuing growth in semiconductor and semiconductor packaging demand, particularly for FC‑BGA substrates in data‑center and server applications.
Operational context
The MGC Group established the Thailand site as part of a two‑site business continuity plan alongside its Japan plant and has maintained a global supply system since 2013. Historically, the Japan plant handled mass production of new and high‑mix low‑volume products while the Thailand site handled low‑mix high‑volume production; an expansion plant at MGC‑ETT was completed in 2025.
