Bowon Chemical Launches Full-Scale Supply of Tablet PC Materials

Bowon Chemical, a total solutions provider for chemical materials, is accelerating the expansion of its new growth businesses, building on the supply of high-performance films for tablet PC covers and the expansion of its production facilities.

Bowon Chemical said on October 27 that it had supplied Logitech, a global computer hardware company, with the first batch of materials for tablet PC covers made from high-performance film developed over the past year.

To produce the new materials, Bowon Chemical invested 2.1 billion won in its Plant No. 3 at the Jungwon Industrial Complex in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province, building a new 660-square-meter facility and installing precision coating production equipment. Construction began in July, and installation of the equipment was completed in mid-October.

The company also invested 4.7 billion won to expand its T-die equipment at Plant No. 5 in Chungju. The equipment passed safety certification and material quality testing and has begun operations. Through its investments in Plants No. 3 and No. 5, the company strengthened its production base for new materials and secured the capacity to meet future increases in supply.

Starting with materials for tablet PC covers, the company is also pursuing expanded supply to major smart device and electronics companies in South Korea and overseas. It is currently conducting product reliability tests for multiple global IT and electronics companies, and has begun initial deliveries of product lines that have completed certification.

Bowon Chemical has also secured new orders for its transfer printing paper and printed film businesses. The company secured new orders totaling 1.3 million square meters annually from a major domestic building materials company and began initial production this month. Transfer printing paper and printed film are materials used in a variety of plastic film products for electronics, building materials, automobiles, and other industries.

A Bowon Chemical official said, "Building on the stability of our existing core businesses, we are strengthening our competitiveness in high-performance materials. We plan to diversify our business portfolio and lay the groundwork for sustained growth by expanding supply of new materials and increasing production capacity."
