Outlook & Strategy
- 2025 Strategic Goal: Establish a New Lab in Hokkaido, Japan, targeting a revenue of 5.5 Billion NTD (New Historical High).
- Focus Japan, Deepening by MA & FA Expansion - Hokkaido FA Lab will be Ready in 2026Q3:
- Hokkaido FA Lab: Will be located in Hokkaido, with equipment move-in scheduled for 2026/6/1. Services will include MA and FA.
- Japan Foundry Development: A 3nm Fab is planned for Kumamoto Pref., Japan, with Takaichi pledging support. Japan Domestic Foundry reportedly eyes 2029 1.4nm production with a second fab to catch foundry giants.
- Strategic Locations: Hokkaido (MA, FA*), Nagoya (MA), Kumamoto (MA).
- CSPs Seeking Alternative Advanced Packaging:
- MA-tek notes an industry trend where Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are seeking alternative advanced packaging solutions due to capacity constraints from traditional suppliers (e.g., Company T/TSMC).
- Company I (Intel) is gaining traction with its EMIB Adoption, positioning it as a viable solution alongside CoWoS for AI architectures.
- Commitments for Company I's EMIB are expected to take effect in 2H26, indicating a shift in the advanced packaging landscape. This suggests increased demand for related analysis and testing services.
