AI substrate demand AT&S is expanding AI substrate capacity and has partnered with AMD to drive AI infrastructure development, indicating growing demand for high-end interconnects in AI applications. Sales opportunities exist in advanced packaging, AI-ready substrates, and premium PCB/IC substrate solutions for data centers and edge AI devices.

European leadership As a leading European manufacturer in a specialized IC substrate market with global competitors from Japan and Taiwan, AT&S presents a compelling source of supply security and proximity-based advantages for European customers in automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors.

expansion momentum Significant multi-year expansion investments in Kulim, Malaysia and Chongqing, China suggest sustained demand tailwinds and capacity increases. This signals readiness to take on larger customer commitments and multi-site manufacturing programs, ideal for multi-region supply chains.

diversified end-markets Customer exposure spans mobile devices, automotive & aerospace, industrial, medical, and HPC/AI, enabling cross-sell of interconnect solutions across multiple high-growth verticals and enabling risk mitigation through portfolio diversification.
