What Zhejiang Wazam New Material does

Hangzhou maker of copper-clad laminates and prepreg, plus thermal and composite materials for transport and logistics vehicles.

Sells copper-clad laminates and bonding sheets to circuit-board makers, earning the spread over copper foil and glass-cloth costs. Laminates carry most of the business, while thermal and composite materials add smaller lines. Tight supply for higher-grade laminates and plant utilisation carry the results.

Products and services

  • Copper-clad laminates and bonding sheets
  • Thermal-conductive materials
  • Functional composite materials
  • Transport and logistics composite panels

Customers

  • PCB manufacturers
  • Communications and electronics equipment makers
  • Transport and logistics vehicle makers

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Materials
  • Electronic materials
  • Copper-clad laminates and composites

What could go right

  • High-grade laminate demand outstripping supply
  • New laminate capacity expansion

What could go wrong

  • Copper and glass-cloth cost swings
  • Cyclical PCB demand

Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification). Qualified high-grade laminate lines at Hangzhou and Zhuhai serving PCB makers who rarely switch grades.
