Ventec Expands Manufacturing Footprint with New Thailand Facility Supporting “China + Taiwan Plus One” Supply Chains
March 12, 2026 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group today provided an update on the progress of its new manufacturing facility in Thailand, which is scheduled to come on stream in Q2 2026, marking an important step in the company’s strategy to diversify global production and support customers seeking China & Taiwan plus one supply chain resilience.
The new facility, which will ramp up progressively between 2026 and 2028, will expand Ventec’s manufacturing capability for advanced prepreg, bond-ply and laminate materials used in high-reliability PCB applications across aerospace, defence, industrial, medical and other mission-critical sectors. The investment reflects Ventec’s strategy to remain an agile, right-size manufacturer in an increasingly polarising CCL and prepreg supply chain.
The Thailand site will include up to eight vertical treaters and two horizontal treaters dedicated to advanced prepreg production. At full ramp-up, the facility is expected to deliver approximately 3.0 million square meters of prepreg capacity per month, together with 80,000 square meters of bond-ply capacity.
In addition, the facility will incorporate high-mix, mid-volume press capacity designed to support advanced FR4 and specialty laminate systems, complementing Ventec’s existing manufacturing operations in China and Taiwan.
By 2028, the expansion will contribute to an increase in Ventec’s global lamination capacity to approximately 1.8 million square meters per month, strengthening supply chain resilience for customers in Southeast Asia and worldwide.
Mark Goodwin, Chief Commercial Officer of Ventec International Group, commented:
“We are seeing a structural shift in the PCB materials supply chain. Increasingly, some laminators are concentrating capacity on hyperscale AI infrastructure and IC substrate markets. That leaves many customers in high-reliability, high-mix sectors needing partners who remain focused on their requirements.
Ventec’s strategy is to be the right-size manufacturer with the agility and product breadth to support those applications. Expanding our manufacturing footprint in Thailand strengthens our China & Taiwan plus one strategy and provides customers with greater supply chain resilience and optionality.
In a market that is becoming more polarised, our focus remains clear: delivering advanced materials, secure supply, and the flexibility needed to support mission-critical electronics programmes worldwide.”
The Thailand facility represents the next step in Ventec’s long-term strategy to build a diversified, agile manufacturing network capable of supporting customers globally with high-performance laminate and prepreg materials.

AI Reshaping the Memory Market; Effects Spreading Across Industries
04/29/2026 | Dr. Shawn DuBravac, Global Electronics AssociationArtificial Intelligence is often framed as a software story focused on algorithms and models. But beneath that narrative lies a more fundamental shift rooted in hardware. AI is not just changing what technology can do; it’s changing how the physical components behind it are produced, allocated, and priced. One of the clearest examples of this shift is now emerging in the global memory market.

How Are You Vetting Your Supply Chain?
04/28/2026 | Didrik Bech, CONFIDEEFor many years, supplier management was largely focused on standard commercial priorities: cost, quality, lead time, and delivery performance. If a supplier met specifications, shipped on time, and remained price competitive, the relationship was often considered healthy. However, the world has changed.
Global Sourcing Spotlight: Building a Supply Chain That Bends, Not Breaks
04/29/2026 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightThe global supply chain is a complex, interdependent, and shifting organism. In the past few years, pandemics, tariffs, wars, natural disasters, and transportation chaos have tested it like never before, revealing that fragility is expensive. The companies that survive do so not through luck but through resiliency. For decades, companies built sourcing strategies around the illusion of stability—one supplier, region, and price. It worked until a port closed, a single supplier went down, or a production line froze.
American Made Advocacy: Rebuilding America’s Military Stockpiles Begins With Microelectronics
04/28/2026 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made AdvocacyCurrent world events demonstrate the fragility of long-distance supply chains transiting multiple zones of conflict. The U.S. military is currently drawing down supplies of key munitions and other electronic systems at unprecedented rates.1Every one of those systems is powered by printed circuit boards. The American PCB industry has kept pace with peacetime demand for the defense industry, but will now be called upon to increase production to a wartime footing at rates not seen in decades.
