TAIWAN– Compeq Manufacturing reported consolidation revenues for September of NT$2.7 billion (US$83.4 million). That marks an increase of 21.7% from August figures and 37.6% on year. Third-quarter consolidated revenues were NT$6.8 billion (US$209.9 million), up 30% on quarter.
The company’s revenue resulted from increased demand for PCBs for handsets and smartphone applications. In addition, US-based customers drove up orders for rigid-flex PCBs to record numbers, according to Compeq.
Third-quarter PCB shipments were nearly 50 million units. The shipment goal for the fourth quarter is expected to remain at the same level, with an annual shipment goal of 180 million to 190 million units.
