Toray Advanced Materials Korea said on November 12 that it held a completion ceremony for the expansion of MLCC Film Lines 13 and 14 at its Plant No. 5 in Gumi, Gyeongbuk. About 150 people attended, including Lee Han-cheol, investment policy director at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy; People Power Party lawmaker Gu Ja-geun; Yang Geum-hee, vice governor for economic affairs of Gyeongsangbuk-do; Jeong Seong-hyeon, vice mayor of Gumi; Toray Advanced Materials Korea Chairman Kuno Motohisa; and CEO Kim Youngseop.

The newly completed Lines 13 and 14 have an annual production capacity of 300 million square meters. Including its existing facilities, Toray Advanced Materials Korea's annual MLCC film production capacity has increased to 900 million square meters.

MLCCs are essential components that provide a steady supply of electricity to electronic device circuits. MLCC film is an essential material used in the manufacturing process for these components, supporting product quality and stable production.

As advanced industries such as artificial intelligence (AI) and future mobility grow, electronic devices are becoming smaller and more powerful at an accelerating pace. With demand for MLCCs expected to continue rising, the importance of MLCC film is also growing.

Toray Advanced Materials Korea plans to use this expansion to get ahead of rising demand. The company said it will draw on its world-class film technology to ensure a stable supply of high-quality products. It also plans to expand the development of next-generation products, leveraging its integrated production system spanning polymerization, film production, and advanced processing.

“The completion of Lines 13 and 14 has further strengthened our competitive edge in the MLCC film sector,” CEO Kim said. “Through continued research and development and investment, we will make the leap into a global advanced materials company that grows together with its customers.”
