VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- A subsidiary of Nam Tai Electronics has relocated to a new 600,000 sq. ft. factory in Shenzhen, the company said today.

J.I.C. Technology's new factory in the countryside of Baoan County is twice the size of its former plant. The manufacturing space is now 416,000 sq. ft., up from 152,000 sq. ft.

JIC also installed new chip on glass (COG) machines and upped capacity of COG and tape automated bonding with anisotropic conductive film products by 150%.

The former factory in downtown Baoan County was not suitable for high-tech operations and had limited space available for expansion.
