Compal: Targeting triple-digit growth in AI servers; new US plant to start mass production in H2

Contract manufacturer Compal held its annual shareholders' meeting on the 29th. Chairman Ray Chen pointed out that Compal entered the AI market in 2025, is experiencing rapid growth this year, and expects even higher growth next year. He stated that the company aims for triple-digit annual growth in its AI server business, making it the third pillar alongside PCs and smart communication devices. Chairman Chen noted that while the PC business remains Compal's core, it faces pressure from material shortages and rising costs, so the company will continue to improve R&D and production efficiency to maintain competitiveness. Additionally, the new plant in Texas, USA, is scheduled to start mass production in the second half of the year, laying the foundation for server business growth from 2027 onwards.
