Taiwan CCL Supplier Eray Tech Signs Pre-Listing Agreement to Fund AI Server and Satellite PCB Material Expansion

Eray Tech Prepares Capital Market Entry for Advanced PCB Material Growth

Taiwan electronic specialty materials company Eray Tech Co., Ltd. announced on May 22, 2026, that it has signed a pre-listing counseling agreement with Mega Securities, marking a significant step toward entering Taiwan’s capital market. The company aims to fund expansion in AI server, high-performance computing (HPC), low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite, and semiconductor packaging materials.

The move comes as demand for ultra-low-loss copper clad laminate (CCL) — the foundational material for high-frequency PCBs — continues accelerating alongside the AI infrastructure buildout.

Why This Matters for the PCB Industry

Eray Tech occupies a critical position in the PCB supply chain. As AI servers push toward higher data rates (112 Gbps per lane and beyond), the PCB substrate materials must deliver:

• Ultra-low dielectric loss (Df < 0.002 at 10 GHz)
• High thermal resistance (Tg > 280°C for lead-free reflow compatibility)
• Large-format panel capability for AI server motherboards exceeding 600 mm
• Consistent quality across high-layer-count builds (20+ layers)

The company states it has independently developed advanced resin materials for high-end CCL products with strong electrical performance and high reliability, positioning it among the few Taiwan-based suppliers with in-house core formulation capabilities.

AI Server and LEO Satellite Supply Chain Entry

According to the announcement, Eray Tech has already entered global AI server and LEO satellite supply chains. This is significant because:

AI Server PCBs require materials that maintain signal integrity at 56-112 Gbps NRZ/PAM4 signaling. The PCB industry consumes approximately $4.2 billion in high-performance CCL annually, growing at 15-20% CAGR driven by AI data center expansion.

LEO Satellite PCBs demand materials that combine low-loss electrical properties with radiation tolerance and outgassing compliance (NASA ASTM E595). The proliferation of Starlink, OneWeb, and similar constellations is creating steady demand for space-qualified laminates.

Industry Context: CCL Market Growth

The global CCL market is projected to grow from $16.4 billion in 2023 to $26.34 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. Key growth drivers include:

1. AI/HPC infrastructure: Each AI server rack uses 20-40× more PCB substrate area than traditional servers
2. 5G/6G base stations: mmWave frequencies require ultra-low-loss materials
3. Electric vehicles: High-voltage battery management systems need specialized CCL
4. Advanced packaging: ABF substrates for chiplet interconnects

Taiwan’s CCL sector — including established players like Nan Ya Plastics, ITEQ, and TUC — is well-positioned, but newcomers like Eray Tech filling niche segments suggest the market can support additional capacity.

Connection to Chairman’s Track Record

Eray Tech’s chairman, Chan Wen-Hsiung, also chairs Advanced Echem Materials Company (4749.TW), which expanded into semiconductor materials and became an important partner of TSMC. This connection provides credibility for Eray Tech’s stated ambition to bridge electronic materials and semiconductor packaging.

What This Means for PCB Manufacturers and Engineers

For hardware engineers selecting PCB materials for AI and high-frequency applications:

• Supply diversification: Additional CCL suppliers reduce single-source risk for critical materials
• Pricing competition: New market entrants help moderate price increases during high-demand periods
• Material innovation: Independent R&D houses often develop specialized formulations faster than large conglomerates
• Qualification availability: Expect Eray Tech materials to appear on manufacturer approved material lists (AMLs) within 12-18 months

For PCB manufacturers like AtlasPCB, diverse material supply ensures we can offer multiple CCL options for demanding applications — from standard FR-4 to ultra-low-loss materials for 112 Gbps designs. Our material selection guidance helps engineers choose the right laminate for their performance requirements.
