GBM Expands AI Product Line with Lincstech Acquisition
TAIPEI – Global Brands Manufacture (GBM), a PCB and EMS subsidiary of Walsin Technology, has finalized its acquisition of Lincstech, a Tokyo-based PCB fabricator, from Polaris Capital Group.
The move enhances GBM’s PCB capabilities in AI servers and semiconductor applications, and expands its production in Singapore and Malaysia.
GBM chairman Yu-Heng Chiao highlighted that the deal positions GBM to diversify into more stable, high-tech markets, reducing reliance on price competition with Chinese manufacturers. The company plans upgrades to the Loyang facility in Singapore, focusing on efficiency and AI server product sophistication, as Singapore benefits from favorable US trade ties.
Integration of Lincstech has already helped lift AI-related sales to nearly 20% of GBM’s revenue. The group will center its PCB strategy on Singapore and Malaysia, with additional capacity in Taiwan and Japan, to sustain growth in emerging technology sectors amid global supply chain shifts.
