Nanofilm mulls project postponements amidst global chip shortage

Nanofilm expects manufacturers to continue stockpiling chips.

Nanofilm Technologies, which manufactures parts for computer, communications and consumer electronics (3C), said it is ready to postpone certain projects if needed.

In a statement to the Singapore Exchange, Nanofilm said noted that it has been affected by the strong demand for semiconductors last quarter.

Thus, it was looking into the possiblity of defering certain 3C projects if needed.

"While the Group’s nanotechnology solutions are applied to a wide number of applications across multiple industries, some of the industries that the Group operates in are not spared by the current situation. Among them, the 3C industry is facing increasing pressure in their supply chain compared to Q4 last year (when the shortage was milder) and the current chip shortage has started to impact manufacturers’ projected production run rate," Nanofilm said.

It expects 3C manufacturers to continue stockpiling chips in anticipation of an ongoing shortage.

It likewise expects the supply chain to recover "in the coming months", allowing for a return to its usual production position and new product launches.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
