SCHMID wins equipment order for glass core substrate plant in South Asia

What happened

German equipment maker SCHMID Group has received an order for wet-process equipment for a new glass core substrate plant in South Asia. The customer is a US company specialising in glass-based advanced packaging, which is now moving its technology from pilot production to industrial scale. According to the customer's own public announcements and SCHMID's press release, the plant will be South Asia's first advanced packaging site built around glass substrates and 3D heterogeneous integration; once fully ramped up, it is designed to produce around 70,000 glass panels a year, as well as glass interposers and 3D integration modules for AI, data centres, 5G and aerospace and defence. SCHMID will supply equipment for critical wet-process steps, which the company says are decisive for yield, reliability and cost, and the order will be booked in the fourth quarter of 2026. SCHMID names neither the customer nor the country, and does not disclose the value of the order. The stated capacity is a designed target, not an achieved result.
