Japan’s Toppan is negotiating price increases for FC-BGA substrates with customers as its new FC-BGA substrate plant ramps up, lifting the operating margin of its electronics business and doubling consolidated net profit. Nikkei Asia reported that the additional production line at Toppan’s FC-BGA substrate factory in Niigata, Japan, began operations in January 2026, doubling the plant’s FC-BGA substrate capacity from the first half of fiscal 2022 (April-September 2022).
