JX Advanced Metals Corporation (President: Hayashi Yoichi; hereinafter "the Company") hereby announces that it has decided to invest in automation for the semiconductor sputtering target processing line at Nikko Metals Taiwan Co., Ltd. (General Manager: Yasutake Ryota; hereinafter "Nikko Metals Taiwan"), a Taiwan-based subsidiary of the JX Advanced Metals Group.

　

The JX Advanced Metals Group's semiconductor sputtering targets are used in the manufacture of various semiconductor devices, including cutting-edge logic and memory chips, and hold the top share in the industry. Nikko Metals Taiwan plays an important role for the latter-stage processing of semiconductor sputtering targets in Taiwan, a hub of the semiconductor industry. The plant has established a supply system capable of responding to customer demands in a timely manner and has continuously expanded its facilities to meet customer expectations. Most recently, the processing equipment* for which capacity augmentation was announced in March 2023 has commenced operation.

　

The semiconductor industry in Taiwan is currently thriving, centered on cutting-edge logic semiconductors such as GPUs for AI data centers, and demand for the JX Advanced Metals Group's semiconductor sputtering targets is expected to increase further. To reliably meet this growing demand, the Company believes it is essential to strengthen the JX Advanced Metals Group's supply capabilities not only through facility expansion but also through productivity improvements driven by automation.

　

Against this backdrop, the JX Advanced Metals Group has decided to deploy to Nikko Metals Taiwan the automation equipment and expertise that it has cultivated through years of business activities and demonstrated across its various sites. Starting in May 2026, the Group will progressively introduce state-of-the-art equipment, including industrial robots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), with operations scheduled to commence sequentially from June 2027. As a result, the processing capacity of Nikko Metals Taiwan will increase to approximately 1.4 times its current level, contributing to an increase in production capacity at the plant.

　

In addition, in light of the robust demand in AI data center-related fields and other areas, the JX Advanced Metals Group is preparing capacity expansion plans for multiple products in its advanced materials business, and will announce details sequentially once they have been determined.

Going forward, under the JX Advanced Metals Group Long-Term Vision 2040, the JX Advanced Metals Group will continue to contribute to the development and innovation of society through the stable supply of advanced materials that support the evolution of cutting-edge technologies, including semiconductors.
