For other areas like AOI, drilling, bonding, etc. the areas has been well protected by fire doors and over pressure. Week 33 is planned for final assessment and validation of areas and machine test procedures. The manufacturer plans to be able to produce in all processes except for electroless plating from week 34. "We will contact all customers and plan how we best support product needs and set up the supply for the coming months. We expect in range of 3-4months’ timeframe before a new electroless copper process can be available. In this time frame we will offer the process as subcontracted to our parent company, Graphic Plc in UK", the company writes in a small statement.
