August 22, 2025 | Zhen DingEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Zhen Ding Technology Holding Limited, a global leading PCB manufacturer, announced on behalf of its subsidiary, Avary Holding (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., that the Board of Directors has approved the Huai’an Park investment plan. From 2H2025 to 2028, the company will invest RMB 8 billion (approximately NT$33.5 billion) to expand high-end PCB capacity, providing comprehensive PCB solutions across rapidly growing AI applications, including servers, optical communications, humanoid robots, smart vehicles and edge AI devices.
Zhen Ding previously indicated that in response to rising demand for advanced AI products, its capital expenditures in 2025 and 2026 will increase to over NT$30 billion annually. The Huai’an Park investment is a key component of the Group’s overall capex strategy, involving the construction of two new fabs and procurement of advanced equipment. The primary focus will be on expanding high-end MSAP, HDI, and HLC capacities to meet mid-to long-term demand for high-layer-count and highprecision PCB designs.
Zhen Ding noted that order momentum in AI servers (including GPU and ASIC platforms) and optical communications has strengthened significantly, with contributions expected to continue rising. In addition to the Huai’an investment, Zhen Ding is simultaneously advancing capacity expansion in Thailand’s Prachinburi Park and Kaohsiung AI Park, building critical capacities required to support the growth of AI computing power.
Zhen Ding emphasized that the Huai’an expansion will further strengthen its “One ZDT” integrated advantage by aligning advanced processes, cross-product synergies, and global resource allocation.
This expansion will not only enhance the company’s high-end PCB capacity and technological depth but also deepen collaborations with leading global AI application companies, reinforcing Zhen Ding’s leadership position in the global PCB market.

SEL: Revolutionizing PCB Production Through MES, Partnerships, and Vision
08/21/2025 | Barry Matties, I-Connect007Two years ago, we visited Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) to better understand its new captive greenfield PCB facility. We recently returned, this time to discuss how this bold vision has transformed the industry. Barry Matties met with John Hendrickson, engineering director, and Jessi Hall, vice president of vertical integration, to discuss the transformative capabilities of Factory Core, SEL’s custom manufacturing execution system (MES), which allows for real-time monitoring of workflow and machine performance, and has led to impressive improvements in quality and cost efficiency.
How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
