The CSPT Group convened its first quarter general manager's office meeting in Shanghai on March 28, 2024. After discussion, the meeting reached the following five consensuses:

1. Given the significant deviation of spot TC/RC for copper concentrates from the market fundamentals, in order to take effective measures to promote the return of spot TC/RC to a reasonable level, the meeting decided not to set a reference figure for spot TC/RC for the second quarter of 2024.

2. Establish a supplier blacklist mechanism, advocating that CSPT group companies do not cooperate with blacklisted enterprises.

3. Advocate for CSPT group companies to jointly reduce production by 5%-10% and promote implementation.

4. Expand the size of the CSPT group, intending to invite large-scale enterprises outside the group to join.

5. Prepare for a thematic meeting on inspection work, inviting professional inspectors from various enterprises to share inspection results and promote the fairness and impartiality of inspection work.

Ventec Invests $47.3M in Kunshan Factory Expansion for CCL Production Boost

Taiwan copper-clad laminate (CCL) maker Ventec International Group (6672.TW) approved on September 17 a NT$1.5 billion (approximately US$47.3 million) expansion budget to lease and upgrade an idle factory in Kunshan, Jiangsu, deploying two automated lines targeting monthly capacity of 500,000 CCL sheets and 2.4 million meters of prepreg. The 20,000 square meter site sits next to the company's existing operations and benefits from existing environmental permits, allowing mass production roughly one year earlier than a greenfield project. Planned spending is about RMB 41.76 million for building upgrades and RMB 246 million for machinery and equipment. The product mix covers M6 high-speed materials ramping up, with M7/M8/M9 grades under qualification with international server and optical-module customers. Ventec reported record August consolidated revenue of NT$810 million, up 133.2% year on year, with the first eight months up 53.6%. The Kunshan plant will complement the company's Thailand facility and serve AI servers, high-speed switches, optical modules and automotive electronics, lifting demand for upstream copper foil and electrolytic copper foil.
