    Because of the soft demand of global economies, consumer electronics haven’t recovered as expected.  Customers are still cautious in pulling the inventories.  However, the generative AI has brought a high hope for this year’s tech industries and will have a long-term growth momentum.  AI requires huge amounts of HPC IC chips.  The direct beneficiary of this trend is obviously the semiconductor industry.  Wah Lee is the largest supplier of various kinds of semiconductor consumable raw materials and has occupied very good market shares in different technology nodes.  In the future, Wah Lee will continue to provide more advanced raw materials to the new mass production technology nodes.

     

    The foundry fabs have been expanding their global production sites.  Wah Lee will provide comprehensive warehousing and logistics services in Japan as well.  Based on this new establishment, Wah Lee will further expand into the local Japanese logic IC and memory IC markets.

     

    Wah Lee’s high end CCL (copper Clad Laminates) has also been benefitting from the growth of demands in cloud computing and AI servers and switches.  Our major customers have obtained orders from various CSP (Cloud Service Providers) and speeded up their productions.  AI CCL is more expensive than the traditional server CCL.  According to the research institutes, AI servers will have double-digit growth in the next five years.  Wah Lee’s CCL shipment will be gradually picking up.
