NAGOYA, Japan -- Japanese chip packaging supplier Ibiden has been busy expanding capacity to manufacture advanced products for the artificial intelligence market. The spending includes two factories in Gifu prefecture that are due to be up and running in the next few years.
Ibiden is the world's top supplier of cutting-edge chip packaging substrates but faces the looming arrival of competitors. The company's capital investment will be the heaviest this fiscal year to maintain a competitive advantage, President and CEO Koji Kawashima told Nikkei.
