Taiwanese prosecutors are investigating Unimicron, one of the world’s largest PCB and chip substrate makers and a key supplier to Nvidia, Intel, Google, and Amazon, over allegations that it shipped China-made PCBs back to Taiwan and relabeled them as Taiwanese products, according to Nikkei Asia. Investigators raided the company’s headquarters in Taoyuan’s Guishan District and a manufacturing plant in Zhongli District on August 28, questioning 14 employees as suspects — including the general and deputy general managers of its PCB business — and four more people as witnesses.
Prosecutors say that the alleged conduct contravened Articles 216, 210, and 255 of Taiwan’s Criminal Code, which cover the use of forged private documents and false labeling of an item’s origin. Wang, the person identified as the PCB department general manager, was released on bail of NT$15 million (roughly $473,000), while a deputy general manager identified as Wu was released on NT$12 million (roughly $378,000).
