GRT Reaches Mass Production Standard for BOPET Fabric... Starts In-House Base Film Production

Precision coating advanced material specialist GRT (CEO Ju Young-nam) announced on the 9th that it has officially started mass production of BOPET fabric at its 3rd factory located in Lianyungang, China.

BOPET film serves as the foundational film for ▲MLCC release films ▲optical-grade BOPET ▲solar base films ▲battery base films. Among these, BOPET base films used for MLCC release films and polarizer protective films require high specifications and high quality, but the base films produced by existing Chinese manufacturers did not meet these requirements, necessitating full import from overseas.

With this mass production of BOPET base films, GRT has established an integrated production system from raw material (base film) manufacturing to coating and product fabrication. This also resolves concerns such as profitability issues caused by high costs due to full import dependence and unstable supply chains.

A company representative stated, “We are producing films through the BOPET line of DORNIER, a German premium manufacturing equipment company,” adding, “It is highly significant that GRT has established a one-stop system from raw material production to manufacturing.”

Starting with this BOPET fabric production, GRT plans to expand the scale of in-house base film production, including PI films, in the future. The company explained that this is expected to bring effects such as ▲improved profitability through cost reduction ▲sales diversification through business diversification ▲increased production efficiency ▲widened technological gap with competitors and overseas companies.
