UHT Unitech Company’s new plant in Nantou, Taiwan's first facility for producing aerospace thermoplastic carbon fiber composites, is about to complete customer certification. In the third quarter of this year, it will conduct trial production of large-size carbon fiber laminates for customers. Meanwhile, UHT Unitech Company has planned to establish a UAV company in the near future, leveraging the company's advantages in composite materials to enter the global drone industry.
Chairman James Wu emphasized that the technical specifications of the Nantou factory will challenge to be the best in Asia-Pacific, with formal mass production potentially beginning as early as the end of this year. According to initial plans, if the Nantou factory can reach full production capacity, it is expected to contribute approximately 1.5 billion NTD in annual revenue.
UHT Unitech Company invested in the construction of the Nantou factory last year. The new facility covers 8,760 square meters and introducing new aerospace intelligent production equipment. The company has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Solvay, a major European "thermoplastic" resin manufacturer. Customers are about to complete the product quality verification process, with trial production expected to begin in the third quarter.
Chairman, James Wu stated that with the global aerospace industry recovering post-pandemic and the widespread ESG trend, thermoplastic carbon fiber materials offer advantages such as energy efficiency, room temperature storage, and recyclability for circular economy, ease of processing, short molding time, and overall cost-effectiveness. Global demand for thermoplastic carbon fiber materials continues to grow.  UHT Unitech Company has already reached agreements with several international thermoplastic resin customers, positioning the Nantou factory as an important specialized production base in the Asia-Pacific region.
To meet mid to high-end market demands, UHT Unitech Company’s new factory will produce thermoplastic carbon fiber laminates with dimensions of 1.2 m x 2.4 m, currently the largest in Asia-Pacific. These can be applied to aircraft interior composite components, secondary structural parts, and aviation products.
