Announcement of the Price Change of Laminate Materials for Printed Wiring Boards

January 25, 2022

Showa Denko Materials Co., Ltd.

Showa Denko Materials Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Hidehito Takahashi) announces the decision to raise the selling prices of its laminate materials for printed wiring boards used for electronic equipment, effective with shipments starting March 2022.

The prices of copper foil and glass cloth used as raw materials for laminate materials for printed wiring board have been rising due to the extremely tight supply-demand balance, along with the surging prices of crude oil and other energy sources. Despite strenuous efforts and various measures taken to minimize the impact, Showa Denko Materials has exceeded its capacity to absorb these cost increases, and thus decided to revise its product prices as described below.

The products subject to price change and the price change rates are as follows:

1. Products subject to price change and price change rates
  Copper-Clad Laminates   15%
  Prepregs                           10%

2. Effective date
  Shipments starting on March 1, 2022
