Taniobis GmbH, Goslar, Germany, an affiliate of JX Nippon Mining & Metals Corporation has broken ground on its previously announced facility expansion in Map Ta Phut, Thailand. The new plant will expand production capacity for tantalum powder.

Demand for tantalum powder is reported to be increasing in line with the expansion of mobile devices and telecommunications infrastructure, the growth of which has seen a jump since the increased prevalence of remote working. Taniobis’s expansion is intended to meet this demand, ensure short supply routes and respond more quickly to customers of electronic grade tantalum powders.
