The NSG Group (the Group) will start its new ultra thin glass float line in Vietnam from June 2014 and will commence production from the second half of this fiscal year. The new line is situated within the site of the Group's wholly-owned subsidiary, NSG Vietnam Special Glass Ltd.

The new investment brings the number of the Group's float lines dedicated Ultra Fine Flat glass (UFF) to two (one in Japan and one in Vietnam).

The NSG Group is the world-leading supplier of ultra thin glass for small LCD applications. NSG UFF products are increasingly being used in the growing touch panel market and cover glass (soda lime composition) in computers and mobile devices. The Group will continue to meet our global customer's needs by fully utilizing our technological leadership and development capability in these fast-growing segments.
