Ion Electronic Materials targets 2027 profit as specialty gases scale
What happened
Ion Electronic Materials, led by Taiwan's "DRAM godfather" Charles Kau, is capitalizing on rising demand for localized supplies of electronic specialty gases driven by advanced semiconductor processes, AI, and high-performance computing. The company reported consolidated gas revenue of NT$534 million (US$16.2 million) in the first three quarters of 2026, up more than 30% year-over-year; its third-quarter loss narrowed to about NT$800,000, bringing it close to break-even (not yet profitable). The company targets (a plan, not yet achieved) profit in 2027.
