Nan Ya Photonics backed by Formosa Plastics Group (FPG) has announced to cooperate with Epistar, Precision Silicon, Formosa Advanced Technologies, and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to set up the world`s first LED lighting automated production line for 7-watt LED bulb.

The production line is scheduled to mass production in June, and Nan Ya Photonics will market the product with own brand.

According to Wang Wen-chao, chairman of Nan Ya Photonics, LED market is going to take off and Taiwan boasts complete LED industrial chain, covering epitaxy, die, assembly, and module.

FPG has been dedicated in developing LED products for many years, via the strategy of cross-field integration and cooperation with the ITRI. And by cross-field integration, the company has set up a vertically integrated supply chain for LED lighting. Despite LED has very high penetration rate in LCD TV , its penetration rate in LED lighting is still very low, promising huge market potential.

Currently, FPG has prepared sufficient land and capital for the development of LED lighting. Additionally, Nan Ya Photonics will require all of its supporting factories to pass UL certification to bolster its brand.

Furthermore, FPG has possessed the mass-production technology for 7-watt and 10-watt LED bulbs, lighting tube, and cabinet lighting. Nan Ya Photonics will cooperate with interior-lighting design companies, aiming at rolling out custom LED lighting products and becoming an all-around lighting company.
