Doosan announced its participation in Electronica 2026, taking place from November 10 to 13 in Munich, Germany, where it is showcasing high-performance copper-clad laminates (CCL) for AI accelerators and optical modules, aiming to secure new customers in Europe.
Electronica is the largest electronics components and systems exhibition in Europe, featuring companies related to semiconductors, automotive, printed circuit boards (PCB), displays, and sensors. This year, approximately 3,500 companies from around 60 countries are participating, alongside the semiconductor exhibition Semicon Europe.
At the exhibition, Doosan is displaying CCL and electronic materials and components applicable to AI data centers, servers, semiconductor packaging, automotive electronics, and 5G and 6G communications.
The main products on display include CCL used in AI accelerators and optical modules. Optical modules are components that transmit data between servers using light signals, while CCL is a key material for PCBs, which form the basis of electronic device circuits. The CCL for AI accelerators and optical modules features low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss properties to facilitate rapid signal transmission and reduce losses in high-speed data transfer environments.
Doosan is also introducing PFC, which is used in electric vehicle battery systems. PFC connects battery cells and is made by coating flexible copper-clad laminates (FCCL) with an insulating film. It is claimed to reduce weight and volume by over 80% compared to traditional copper wiring harnesses. Doosan is producing PFC using a roll-to-roll method, creating lengths of 2.5 meters.
Additionally, the company is showcasing a 5G antenna module, a key component of 5G wireless repeaters that utilizes beamforming technology to focus signals in specific directions, integrating functions such as signal transmission and frequency conversion.
A Doosan representative stated, "This exhibition is an opportunity to demonstrate Doosan's material capabilities to European customers, covering everything from AI infrastructure to automotive and communications. We will incorporate market trends and potential customer requirements identified at the event into our development process and strive to secure new clients through follow-up discussions."
Meanwhile, Doosan signed an investment agreement on November 5 to establish a CCL production line in Changshu, China. This investment, part of a previously announced plan worth approximately 970 billion won, includes about 550 billion won allocated for China, with plans to build a new production line near the existing Changshu factory and begin phased operations in the second half of 2028.
