Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to strengthen its investment in Busan and Tianjin, China, to boost its competitiveness in MLCC for battlefields.

As the size of the Tianjin plant is three times larger than that of the Busan plant, it will increase investment to produce a variety of MLCC lineups for battlefields. MLCC is divided into 1005, 1608, 3225, etc. depending on the size. If the width is 3.2mm (mm) and the length is 2.5mm, it is 3225.
