Chip-test interface maker Chunghwa Precision Test Tech (精測) posted its best-ever month for sales in August, a strong sign that the AI chip boom is still feeding through to Taiwan's supply chain.

• August sales hit a record, up more than 50% from a year earlier and still growing month to month.
• Demand for AI, high-performance computing and custom ASIC chips is driving it — advanced chips need more testing.
• Sales for the first eight months are up a third from last year.
• Customers are shifting from one-year deals to talks about two to three years or longer, giving order visibility into 2027.
• Capacity doubled between the end of 2025 and this August, with another 50% increase planned by March, and more possible if demand holds.

Outlook: Management expects next year's growth to beat this year's and is upbeat on 2028, with further expansion on the table if AI chip orders keep coming.
