SCHMID Group Wins Significant Orders for AI Server PCB Production Equipment

Posted on by

FREUDENSTADT, Germany, Oct. 22, 2025 — SCHMID Group (NASDAQ: SHMD), a worldwide manufacturer of equipment and provider of solutions for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and IC-Substrate production, announced today it has successfully secured two substantial orders within the rapidly expanding sector of PCBs designed for artificial intelligence (AI) server applications, often referred to as AI-Server-Boards.

For one project, SCHMID is set to provide a comprehensive wet-process equipment configuration, incorporating its cutting-edge V+ and H+ systems. The other project entails furnishing technically essential horizontal H+ machines, representing a notable expansion beyond its usual PCB and IC-substrate operations.

Furthermore, a pivotal aspect is that one client has entrusted SCHMID with the complete oversight for an entire production line, indicating profound trust in SCHMID’s technology and service offerings, and potentially opening doors for future investment prospects.

Market Overview: AI and Semiconductor Expansion

These recent orders highlight the SCHMID Group’s increasing significance in facilitating state-of-the-art electronics production during a period of unparalleled demand spurred by AI.

IDC forecasts that the semiconductor industry will achieve revenues of $785.5 billion in 2025, with an accelerated path to $1.1 trillion by 2029, propelled by the integration of AI. TrendForce indicates that global shipments of AI servers are projected to increase by 24.3% year-over-year in 2025, driven primarily by prominent North American cloud service providers, complemented by sovereign cloud initiatives across Europe and the Middle East.

Such AI-fueled expansion directly influences IC-substrate and PCB technologies. TechSearch International points out that the need for large-body substrates is escalating due to the growing volume of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) stacks and the demands of co-packaged optics (CPO) for AI uses. These technological shifts affirm the critical strategic value of SCHMID’s range of process equipment.

Leadership Commentary

“These orders represent a crucial achievement for SCHMID Group. They illustrate that our technology is sought after and relied upon, not just for IC-substrates, but also for comprehensive PCB production lines dedicated to AI-Server-Boards – one of the globe’s most rapidly expanding and challenging markets.

The AI server sector is defined by quick innovation cycles and frequent hardware updates. Standard AI server boards typically have an estimated lifespan of merely 18 to 24 months before new designs prompt demand for subsequent generations. This constant evolution generates an ongoing requirement for sophisticated PCB manufacturing solutions, where dependability, accuracy, and expandability are paramount.

Securing these projects places SCHMID at the heart of this progression. Every successive generation of AI server boards demands an increased number of layers, finer features, narrower process tolerances, and novel materials – precisely the areas where our V+ and H+ systems, alongside our C+ system for upcoming geometries, offer a distinct benefit.

For us, this extends beyond the immediate orders; it’s about solidifying SCHMID Group’s standing as an enduring partner in an industry expected to sustain double-digit growth. The trust shown in us by these clients strongly indicates that SCHMID will be instrumental in defining the future of AI hardware,” stated Roland Rettenmeier, Chief Sales Officer, SCHMID Group.
