Fluorine compounds are essential for the production of semiconductors and other chemical products, but most of the raw materials come from imports, making it a challenge to secure a stable supply from within the country. The new factory will be located in the Hibikinada Industrial Zone in Wakamatsu ward and is expected to begin operations in 2026. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city.kitakyushu.lg.jp\/files\/001022514.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kitakyushu City<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/yotemira.tnc.co.jp\/news\/articles\/NID2023020916790\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TNC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_kitakyushu-fluor_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kitakyushu City Signs Agreement to Build New Fluorine Compound Factory \" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_kitakyushu-fluor_2023_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_kitakyushu-fluor_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_kitakyushu-fluor_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_kitakyushu-fluor_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000162.000073843.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PR Times<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English regularly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
