Kingboard Chemical Holdings Ltd. ( "Kingboard Chemical" ) is one of  the world’s largest laminates  manufacturer . Since the establishment of its first laminates manufacturing facility in 1988,  the Group  has  been  proactively engaging  in  both  vertical  and  horizontal development. The  Group  now operates more  than 40 manufacturing facilities, turning out a large spectrum of products ranging from paper laminates to PCBs, chemicals, copper foil, glass fabric, glass yarn, bleached kraft paper, liquid crystal displays and magnetic products.

Prior to  establishing the  manufacturing business, the Group’s  founder had  acquired and amassed substantial  market  knowledge,   product  expertise and  customer needs from trading  electrical and electronic components  since   the 1970s. The trading business helped  build  the foundation for the Group’s core clientele. Most importantly, being close to the market enabled the founder to have identified a huge market niche for domestically produced electronic components, such as paper laminates, which have  a   broad  range  of  applications in  the  fast  developing market.   The  Group founder’s  astute understanding of the market needs prompted the establishment and operation of a production facility for laminates in Liantang, Shenzhen, in 1988. Since then the Group has been experiencing rapid growth at a rate that at times outpaced capacity expansion.

In 1991, the Group added another  laminates  facility in Longhua, Shenzhen;  and a third production  line the following year. In  1992,  the  Group  also formed a joint venture plant with  two government - owned institutions in Shanghai.  Kingboard  Chemical’s management  expertise and experienced technicians greatly enhanced the production efficiency of this once government-owned facility when it commenced full operation in March 1993. It was subsequently relocated to Kunshan, Jiangsu in January 2005.
