SCHMID Group Secures Two Major Orders, Signaling Strong Demand for AI Server PCB Solutions
Significant Equipment Contracts Position SCHMID Group at the Heart of AI Server Growth
In a pivotal move for both the company and the broader electronics industry, SCHMID Group (NASDAQ:SHMD) has announced two major orders for its printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing equipment—specifically for AI server applications. The contracts involve delivery of SCHMID's advanced wet-process V+ and H+ systems and mark the company's entry into a new category of AI-server-board production lines.
Customers Grant Full Line Responsibility—A Vote of Confidence in SCHMID’s Technology
Highlighting customer trust, one project tasks SCHMID Group with overseeing the entire production line—a rare endorsement that sets a foundation for future investments. Another contract calls for the delivery of critical horizontal H+ machines, underscoring SCHMID's technological edge beyond traditional PCB and IC-substrate sectors.
Industry Tailwinds: AI Server and Semiconductor Growth Show No Signs of Slowing
SCHMID’s wins come at a moment of strong secular trends in electronics manufacturing, driven by the surge in artificial intelligence. According to IDC, global semiconductor revenue is expected to reach $785.5 billion in 2025, on its way to an estimated $1.1 trillion by 2029—growth largely fueled by AI adoption. TrendForce anticipates a 24.3% year-over-year increase in global AI server shipments in 2025, with cloud providers and sovereign cloud projects at the helm.
| 2025 AI Server Shipment Growth (YoY) | 2025 Semiconductor Revenue | 2029 Semiconductor Revenue (Projection) |
|---|---|---|
| 24.3% | $785.5B | $1.1T |
This acceleration is directly impacting PCB and substrate technologies, with TechSearch International noting increased demand for large-body substrates to support high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and co-packaged optics (CPO)—key components in next-gen AI servers.
SCHMID’s Equipment Portfolio Aligns With the Demands of Rapid AI Server Innovation Cycles
The AI server board market is characterized by short hardware lifecycles—just 18 to 24 months—driven by relentless innovation. Each new wave requires more advanced manufacturing capabilities: higher layer counts, finer features, tighter process tolerances, and compatibility with new materials. SCHMID’s V+ and H+ systems are purpose-built to address these needs, positioning the company as a technology partner rather than just a supplier.
- AI server boards refresh every: 18-24 months
- PCB complexity is rising due to: HBM, CPO, multi-layer requirements
- Customer endorsement: Full-line production responsibility
Executive Insight: Establishing SCHMID as a Long-Term Partner in the AI Hardware Cycle
Roland Rettenmeier, Chief Sales Officer, emphasized, "These orders mark a pivotal milestone for SCHMID Group. They demonstrate our technology is needed and trusted in one of the fastest growing and most demanding markets worldwide." The projects highlight recurring demand for advanced PCB equipment, driven by AI’s rapid evolution. Rettenmeier added that SCHMID's technology not only addresses today’s needs but is set to play a key role in future AI hardware architectures as the sector maintains double-digit growth rates.
Key Takeaway: SCHMID Group Steps Into the AI Hardware Spotlight
SCHMID Group’s major equipment orders are more than isolated business wins—they’re indicators of the company's deepening involvement in AI server manufacturing, a sector forecasted for rapid expansion. With industry projections and technology trends aligning, SCHMID stands to benefit from ongoing hardware innovation cycles. For investors and industry observers, this could be a turning point in how PCB and substrate equipment makers are valued as the backbone of next-gen AI infrastructure.
