DuPont Interconnect Solutions(DuPont, NYSE: DD) announced on Tuesday that it entered into a strategic collaboration relationship with YMT, a Korean printed circuit board (PCB) materials manufacturer listed on the KOSDAQ exchange(251370). This collaboration combines DuPont's circuit imaging material expertise and YMT's local network, which can best address the local customer needs with faster response, better service, and a total solution. Under this collaboration, YMT has invested in establishing a dry film slitting facility in Ansan, Korea, and expects facility operation in October.

"YMT is one of the leading companies in the global chemical material industry with strong technology development capability. We are pleased to work with YMT to advance the electronic industry and build a more connected value chain to serve our customers in Korea," said Yuan Yuan Zhou, Global Business Director, Metallization & Imaging, DuPont.
