Taiwan prosecutors search Unimicron offices over alleged China origin mislabeling

  • Taoyuan prosecutors charged five Unimicron executives over alleged China-made PCB origin mislabeling.
  • Unimicron fell to NT$999 after previously closing at NT$1,110, while Taiwan’s index dropped as much as 710.62 points to 45,620.83.
  • The investigation could prompt customer audits, export reviews, tariff reassessments and order shifts, although Unimicron said operations remained normal.

Taiwan prosecutors searched Unimicron Technology offices over allegations that China-made printed circuit boards were shipped to Taiwan, relabeled and exported as Taiwan-made, while the company’s shares fell sharply during a broader semiconductor-led market correction. The Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office said five senior employees face charges including forgery of private documents and false product labeling, with bail set between NT$300,000 and NT$15 million. Fourteen executives and employees and four witnesses were questioned after searches of the company’s Guishan headquarters and Zhongli plant. Unimicron said the investigation had no material impact on its finances or operations and that it was cooperating fully. The shares first closed at NT$1,110 after reaching an intraday record of NT$1,230, then later hit the daily limit down at NT$999 as Taiwan’s weighted index fell as much as 710.62 points to 45,620.83. Investors also monitored active ETFs holding Unimicron, potential customer audits and supply-chain reviews, while analysts viewed the broader market decline as a technical correction after a strong advance.
