According to Korean media reports, Samsung Electro-Mechanics selected the equipment for its glass substrate production line last month and sent letters of intent (LOIs) to the suppliers. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2027, and the company has asked suppliers to install the equipment in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province. The “one-pass” line will be used primarily for pilot production. If the pilot run goes well, Samsung Electro-Mechanics is expected to place much larger equipment orders. The equipment suppliers include LPKF, Taesung, Cymechs, SD Optics, Innometry, Techvalley, and HB Technology. Samsung Electro-Mechanics aims to begin mass production of glass substrates in 2028. Broadcom is seen as the likely customer.
