Gudeng Precision Industrial Co., Taiwan’s leading semiconductor materials supplier, reported a 20% year-over-year revenue increase for the first quarter of 2025, driven by robust shipments of its specialty wafer containers amid continued expansion in the semiconductor industry.
The company posted consolidated revenue of NT$17 billion ($530 million) for Q1, up from NT$14.2 billion in the same period last year, while maintaining a 44% gross margin and earnings per share of NT$2.2, according to its financial statement released Monday.
Gudeng attributed the growth to increased shipments of its EUV pods and front-opening unified pods (FOUP), which are specialized containers used to transport and store semiconductor wafers during manufacturing processes. The company has benefited from being the primary supplier of these critical components to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and other major chipmakers.
Despite maintaining stable overall profitability, Gudeng faces headwinds from global economic volatility and ongoing tariff disputes. Non-operating income decreased compared to Q1 2024, which the company said was due to reduced foreign exchange gains and investment valuation losses.
The firm also reported April 2025 revenue of NT$5.8 billion, a 9% increase year-over-year, with cumulative revenue for the first four months reaching NT$22.9 billion, up 17.5% from the same period in 2024.
Looking ahead, Gudeng expects continued steady shipment growth across all regions as it accelerates inventory preparation during the current 90-day tariff policy suspension period to meet customers’ urgent production requirements.
