Toray said that in order to increase the output of polyester film required for the manufacturing of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), it decided to spend 8 billion yen to strengthen the production equipment in Gifu factory in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The production capacity of the plant will increase to 2.5 to 3 times, and it is scheduled to be put into production in 2025.

MLCC is an important electronic part widely used in communication equipment, household appliances and automobiles. It is expected that the demand for MLCC will continue to grow, driven by the high-speed communication and the growing popularity of electric vehicles. This is also the main reason why the company decided to expand the production of polyester film.

Toray's Gifu plant plans to introduce the latest equipment for recycling used polyester films.

Toray ranks first in the industry with 50% of the global market share of polyester films for MLCC manufacturing. At present, the company has four production bases in Japan and abroad, and with the strengthening of production facilities this time, the global production capacity will reach 1.3 times that of the current one.
