Lotte Energy, Isu Petasys to co-work on HVLP copper foil supply

South Korea's Lotte Energy Materials Corp. said on Monday that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) last Friday with Isu Petasys regarding the supply of hyper-very-low profile copper foil, a key material for AI and network printed circuit boards (PCBs).

As the technical complexity of equipment requiring high-speed data transmission, such as AI accelerators, servers, and routers, increases, the demand for high-performance, multi-layer PCB products is also rising.

Consequently, the importance of key materials, such as hyper-very-low profile copper foil with nano surface treatment technology and low signal loss, is also growing.

The two companies plan to supply high-value-added products for AI and network PCBs to global IT companies through this agreement, based on a closely managed supply chain management (SCM) system.
