Key developments

In 2024, RIBER achieved its revenues targets, driven by solid growth in MBE system sales. This momentum reflects the strengthening of its positions in the MBE market, for both research and industrial production, as evidenced by the strong order intake during the year, with 13 new MBE systems. In this context, the company's earnings show a clear improvement compared with the previous year.

Alongside this, RIBER moved forward with its innovation efforts with the development of ROSIE (RIBER Oxide on SIlicon Epitaxy), a new system dedicated to the silicon photonics sector. Designed to meet the growing demands of optical transmission and reception applications, its commercial launch, scheduled for 2026, opens up new prospects in a fast-growing market. This dynamism is supported by the demand for advanced semiconductor materials dedicated to data transmission and Artificial Intelligence. The technology developed by RIBER will help reduce energy consumption, particularly in data centers.
