What happened
YC Chem plans to invest 13.8 billion won to expand production lines for HBM glue cleaners and strippers, with mass production scheduled for Q4. This expansion addresses rising HBM demand and secured orders from global memory manufacturers. The move signals increased supply capacity for back-end packaging materials, which is likely to stabilize or slightly reduce material prices.
