metallized polypropylene film capacitors for AC circuits

Europtronic Group, a SGX-listed company headquartered in Singapore, has key businesses in electronic components manufacturing and distribution, and a rapidly-growing biotechnology unit.

Originally established in 1977 as Taiwan CTI Industrial Corporation, Europtronic has grown from a trading company into an integrated manufacturer and distributor of electronic components. The company produces its own brand of film capacitors at two state-of-the art factories located in Shenzhen and Suzhou, in the People’s Republic of China. These products include metallized and non-metallized polypropylene film capacitors, and metallized polypropylene film capacitors for AC circuits (X2). It also produces chip inductors and chip beads via its 82.97% wholly-owned subsidiary Housing Technology Corp. in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

In addition, the Group distributes other various active and passive components for established international brands, including AVX, Sharp, Micro Crystal, Tyco, JST and Semikron. These include products such as aluminum electrolytic and MLCC capacitors, opto-electronic devices such as transmitters and receivers, flat panel displays, base-band crystals, connectors, and diodes.

Europtronic Green Energy, established in 2008, is now one of the leading plantlet propagators in Asia. Using biotechnology, the unit specialises in the tissue culturing of fuel crop seedlings and ornamental plantlets. Based in Singapore, it is also one of the select few companies to start breeding and propogating clonal Jatropha seedlings and plantlets in China for clients across Asia Pacific region.

The Group has a strong geographical presence in the People’s Republic of China, as well as offices in Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, London, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Taipei, Tianjin and Chengdu.

In 2002, Europtronic was officially listed on the main board of the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) under the symbol “ETGL”..
