PCB Drilling Business

The Group is the leading provider of PCB precision drilling services in this region and in the Shanghai, Suzhou and Wuxi regions. It is currently the leading PCB drilling and routing service provider in terms of capacity and technology. In April 2004, the Group has also moved into laser drilling in China which complements the Group's strengths in mechanical drilling and will allow the Group to drill microvia of sizes not achievable by mechanical drilling. As at 30 June 2004, it had 89 CNC drilling machines, 6 laser drilling machines and 20 routing machines in China, and 37 CNC drilling machines in Singapore.

We also have both semi-automated and automated stacking and pinning machines for greater efficiency in the stack and pin process. At Multi-Chem, we believe in maintaining the possible standard of quality to meet or exceed the requirements of our customers. Our precision drilling operations must conform to stringent quality standards and customer specifications. We achieve this through proactive quality programs and thorough inspection procedures on both incoming raw materials and final products using the human eye as well as advanced X-ray equipment and automated hole checker machines. We also have laboratory facilities to carry out cross section evaluation of hole wall quality.
