Background
|
SNC Industrial Laminates Sdn. Bhd. (SNC) is in Johor Bahru, the southernmost part of the Malay Peninsula, and was established in 1990 as a production and sales site mainly for circuitry materials. Since its establishment, we have been producing phenolic resins for internal use, but in 2020 we started selling some of our phenolic resins to outside parties, and in 2023 we started full-scale external sales. Going forward, we will expand sales targeting Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia and Oceania, where demand is expected to grow further. |

Future
In recent years, customer demand for a stable supply of products has increased. Our group has phenolic resin production sites in Japan, North America, Europe, China and Southeast Asia, enabling us to supply products globally. In Southeast Asia, we have a sales site in Thailand and a site in Indonesia that mainly produces solid and powder products. By expanding and strengthening the supply of liquid phenolic resin from SNC in Malaysia, we have established a stable supply chain for customers in Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia and Oceania. SNC is also able to supply differentiated products from our group developed at our sites around the world in response to customer requests.
Going forward, SNC will play a role in strengthening the competitiveness of the phenolic resins business.
