What happened

Toray Advanced Materials held a completion ceremony on Nov. 12 for expanded MLCC release film production facilities at its Gumi Plant 5 in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province. The expansion was completed about two years after the groundbreaking ceremony in October 2024. With the completion of production lines 13 and 14, annual capacity increased 50% from 600 million to 900 million square meters. The company produces MLCC release films at its Gumi Plant 4 and selected lines at Plant 5, and operates an integrated production system covering PET polymerization, base film manufacturing and downstream processing including surface coating. About 150 people attended the ceremony, including Lee Han-cheol, director general for investment policy at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources; National Assembly member Koo Ja-keun; Yang Geum-hee, vice governor for economic affairs of North Gyeongsang Province; Gumi Vice Mayor Jung Sung-hyun; Chairman Motohisa Kuno; and President and CEO Kim Young-seop. Kim said the completion of production lines 13 and 14 has strengthened the company's competitive advantage in the MLCC film sector. The source does not state the cause for the capacity expansion.
