Smartphone camera lens supplier Largan Precision Co (大立光) yesterday remained tight-lipped about the company’s capacity expansion plans, only saying that it is pursuing new technology.

The company is developing new specifications and applications for smartphone camera lenses, which would be produced at a new plant, Largan chief executive officer Adam Lin (林恩平) said during an investors’ teleconference.

The new lenses would be all plastic and be made with a revamped manufacturing process, Lin said, adding that the company’s expansion plans would begin to take shape by 2020.

However, Lin declined to reveal further details and sources of demand that would fill the company’s growing capacity, citing confidentiality agreements with its customers.    [FULL STORY]
