Syntec Anticipates Growth Driven by Robotics and Smart Manufacturing Demand

Syntec held an investor conference on the 22nd, stating that the company expects to maintain its growth trajectory this year, fueled by rising demand for robotics and smart manufacturing. Huang Fang-Chih, Syntec's director, expressed cautious optimism for this year's performance, provided no major 'black swan' events occur. She noted that machine tools, industrial machinery, pick-and-place controllers, and robot arms all have opportunities for sustained growth.

Focus on High-End Controllers and Robot Applications

Syntec highlighted that the robust machine tool market in China, coupled with industrial upgrades and equipment replacement demand, has led to active procurement of high-end controllers by customers. This has driven positive revenue growth for mid-to-high-end controller products. Notably, robot-related applications, including humanoid robots and emerging applications like AI server liquid cooling systems, have shown a clear increase in demand for high-end controllers. Syntec continues to advance its AI-enabled smart controllers, strengthening its presence in the smart manufacturing market.

Expanding Overseas Markets and Enhancing Automation Solutions

Lien-Ta, a Syntec affiliate, is focusing on developing industrial and collaborative robots for automated production lines and smart manufacturing. As labor shortages, efficiency improvements, and production line automation demands rise in the manufacturing sector, robot control and electronic control systems are becoming crucial areas for Syntec's product application expansion. In terms of overseas expansion, Huang Fang-Chih stated that the new Malaysia factory is progressing as planned, with completion estimated for February 2027, to support market growth in regions like India and Turkey.
