Taiwan chip equipment maker Gallant Precision says orders have jumped sharply and are already booked into 2027, a strong sign for the AI packaging supply chain.

• Several of its machines cleared customer testing and are now selling, driving what the company calls breakthrough order growth.
• AI and high-performance computing demand is lifting the need for grinding, polishing and inspection gear used in advanced chip packaging.
• Long waits for key parts mean some orders can't ship this year, so customers are booking early to lock in capacity.
• Its white-light measurement tools are winning business at packaging and testing customers, taking share from industry leader KLA.
• Wafer reclaim, special substrates and power chips for AI servers are opening new demand for thinning and flattening equipment.

Outlook: The company expects 2027 to be better than this year, with orders already filling the books.
