(Yicai Global) Dec. 20 -- Zhejiang Juhua Co. [SHA:600160] will partner with China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund Co. and other investors to set up a joint venture to provide electronic chemical products to China's emerging IC industry.
They will establish the JV with CNY1 billion (USD152 million) of registered capital. The Quzhou-based firm will put in CNY390 million. Zhejiang Juhua and the fund will be the JV's largest shareholders, the traditional chemical giant said yesterday.
