Samsung Electronics Internalizes ‘Foldable Glass’ … Ignites Supply Chain Competition

What They Say

The ETNews in Korea reported that Samsung Display has taken its flexible glass supply chain in house for the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The glass was developed by the Global Technology Center (GTC), which researches Samsung Electronics’ CE/IM manufacturing technology. The glass is being supplied by Corning and the glass is being processed by Econy. It is then cut and coated at a factory in Vietnam before inclusion in the smartphone.

Samsung was previously using Schott glass, processed by Dowooinsys.

What We Think

It’s inevitable that supply chains will develop. No supplier likes the kind of single supplier that Schott was. (BR)
