Zhen Ding Technology Holding expects to operate 59 factories by 2030 as artificial intelligence infrastructure keeps demand for printed circuit boards and related materials elevated. Taipei Times reported the capacity plan on October 21, 2026, following comments from chairman Charles Shen at a technology trade show.

Supply remains the immediate constraint

Zhen Ding said demand from cloud service providers investing in AI infrastructure continues to pressure PCB, component and material supply. The company currently operates 28 plants across Taiwan, Thailand and China, while its 2030 plan would bring the total to 59, more than double the current footprint, according to Taipei Times.

What does the expansion mean for margins?

The answer depends on whether higher-value AI products offset the cost of new capacity. In the first half of 2026, revenue reached TWD 89.2 billion, up 13.9 percent from TWD 78.35 billion a year earlier, while gross margin improved to 22.4 percent from 16.5 percent. Net profit attributable to the parent company rose 208.5 percent to TWD 3.817 billion, according to BigGo on October 13, 2026.

Three recent steps show the strategy

On September 29, 2026, Zhen Ding filed for a Singapore listing of USD 800 million bonds. On October 9, 2026, a unit agreed to acquire machinery from Machvision, and on October 15, 2026, another equipment purchase was reported at TWD 1.06 billion. The machinery announcements were carried by MarketScreener.

Next date for investors

The next earnings report is scheduled for November 11, 2026, according to Investing.com. The date will test whether the second-half growth profile can support the companys capacity ambitions.
