New 3M Display Film Plant Opens in China

3M Optical Systems Division recently opened a new plant in Dongguan, China to supply display films to the growing number of TV and monitor display manufacturing plants located in the South China region. Production equipment was moved from a 3M plant in Japan in order to meet growing demand in China, and to shorten customers’ supply chains and help them become more competitive.

An international line-up of key technical and leadership team members – including engineers from Minnesota, California, Korea, Japan and Taiwan – worked together to overcome numerous challenges under an extremely tight schedule. Extensive operator and maintenance training also was conducted in a condensed time period. Thanks to these efforts by a dedicated team to ensure a smooth start-up, the factory has shipped more than 1 million parts in its first two months of production.
