Unimicron steers resources to Taiwan AI substrates with NT$50.9B equipment orders, Japan unit sale

What happened

Unimicron Technology is reshaping its global production footprint and steering resources toward Taiwan's higher-margin AI supply chain. The company's board has approved an additional NT$50.9 billion (US$1.57 billion) in long-lead equipment orders and plans to sell its Japanese subsidiary to PCB maker Meiko Electronics. According to the source, the cause is surging AI and high-performance computing (HPC) chip demand, which drives the need for high-layer-count, large-size IC substrates. Both the equipment orders and the planned sale are board-approved plans; the source does not state that implementation has been completed.
