SCHMID Group Records More than €26 Million Order Intake since Mid-May, Driven by AI Infrastructure and Optical Module Demand
FREUDENSTADT, Germany, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SCHMID Group (NASDAQ: SHMD) (the “Company” or "SCHMID") announces a strong combined order intake of more than €26 million since mid-May 2026, reflecting multiple customer orders and continued market momentum in advanced PCB and substrate manufacturing technologies for AI infrastructure and next-generation optical module supply chains.
The recent order intake reflects continued momentum across SCHMID’s InfinityLine Production Equipment, driven primarily by orders secured in China, Taiwan, and South Korea and complemented by incremental business in Europe. Together, these wins confirm sustained customer investment in high-performance electronics manufacturing and further strengthen SCHMID’s position in next-generation interconnect technologies.
The orders, secured from several customers, cover InfinityLine Production Equipment for High-Density Interconnect Multilayer (HDI-ML) and modified Semi-Additive Processing (mSAP) applications serving AI servers, high-speed networking, optical communication modules, advanced interconnect platforms, and next-generation data infrastructure. The orders demonstrate that the market pipeline for advanced PCB technologies is not only building, but converting into confirmed technology and capacity investment.
Executive Statement
“AI infrastructure is driving a step-change in advanced interconnect manufacturing. As layer counts increase and design rules become more demanding, yield performance becomes the decisive factor for profitable high-volume production. This is where SCHMID creates measurable customer value. Our equipment delivers the process stability, uptime, and manufacturing precision required to support yield performance above 99%. The recent order intake confirms that the market is moving from technology evaluation and qualification into capacity investment — and that SCHMID is strongly positioned to capture the next growth wave in HDI-ML and mSAP for AI infrastructure, high-speed networking, and optical module applications.
