Specialty chemicals for electronics industry
Agnos Chemicals Pte Ltd opened a new $8 million facility in Tuas recently to manufacture new generation chemicals for the electronics industry. It is a joint venture involving Japan's Tama Chemical and three Taiwanese companies, Hemies-Epitek, San Lien and Kemitek.
Senior management of Agnos Chemical was delighted with the progress and choice of Singapore as the site for the plant.
Mr Robert Choy, Chairman of Agnos Chemical: "Singapore was chosen because of its efficiency and attractive investment environment.
Our decision was proven right as we were able to develop and build this project from conceptualisation to commercial production within a year." He said the company will strive for excellence in quality and hoped to develop its own brand of "Agnos Quality" which will be the household standards for the electronics chemicals industry.

EDB's Assistant Managing Director Chua Taik Him said there were bright prospects for specialty chemicals as the semiconductor and display industries would continue to grow.
