TAIWAN and CHINA– Nan Ya Printed Circuit Board (NPC) reports that it will decrease prices 3% to 5% in Taiwan and up to 10% in China, starting in October. The action stems from decreasing inventory levels and falling copper prices. CCL makers in Taiwan report copper clad prices have fallen 5% to 6%, resulting in a 2% to 3% reduction in manufacturing costs. It is rumored that several competitors, such as Elite Materials and Taiwan Union Technology, might follow. The anticipated price reductions are greater in China because of the company’s larger market. Copper prices are less than $7,000 per ton, and sources predict lower prices for November.
