Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co. Limited (Nasdaq: FFHL) ("Fuwei Films" or the "Company"), a manufacturer and distributor of high-quality BOPET plastic films located in China, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Fuwei Films (Shandong) Co. Ltd. ("Shandong Fuwei"), has successfully completed the development of a new dry film product.
The test sample has passed the strict examination by Hitachi Chemical Shanghai and Asahi ASEI.
Dry film is a high demand product in the global market. Because of the barriers to entry due to sophisticated R&D, technology and production criteria, Fuwei is one of only two major manufacturers in the Chinese BOPET industry currently producing this kind of dry film.
Dry film is generally used in circuit boards (PCB & FPC) production, in addition to nameplate and crafts etching. It is not only the most widely used mask film for PCB graphics but also indispensable image material for manufacturing precision circuits.
According to Mr. Xiaoan He, Chairman and CEO of Fuwei, "R&D has always been one of the key competitive advantages of our company. We have successfully introduced the new dry film product into the market and we expect to expand the production in the future."
