iPhone 6 Orders Seen to Boost Flexium's Profit for 2015
July 1, 2015 | DigitimesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Flexible PCB supplier Flexium Interconnect is expected to achieve significant profit growth this year, mainly due to orders for Apple's iPhone 6 models, according to a Digitimes report.
In 2014, Flexium recorded an EPS of NT$6.71—down from its average EPS for the previous three years (2011, 2012 and 2013)—due to weaker-than-expected shipments in the first half of 2014 as a result of disappointing iPhone 5C sales. Flexium generated an EPS of NT$3.28 in the first quarter of 2015; but amid growing shipments, the FPCB supplier is set to post strong profits in the first half of the year, and continue to enjoy impressive results in the second half.
Flexium's EPS is expected to top NT$12 in 2015 and set a new record, the report added.

How Are You Vetting Your Supply Chain?
04/28/2026 | Didrik Bech, CONFIDEEFor many years, supplier management was largely focused on standard commercial priorities: cost, quality, lead time, and delivery performance. If a supplier met specifications, shipped on time, and remained price competitive, the relationship was often considered healthy. However, the world has changed.
The Chemical Connection: When the Industry Moves Faster Than the Standards
04/29/2026 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAs a supplier of wet processing equipment, we have rules and standards we must adhere to, including both regional and national electrical codes and safety and environmental regulations, as well as myriad other standards to make the equipment safe to use. Things are a little different when it comes to rules and standards for manufacturing PCBs, though, because technical advances and requirements change so quickly that standards can’t keep up.
Global Sourcing Spotlight: Building a Supply Chain That Bends, Not Breaks
04/29/2026 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightThe global supply chain is a complex, interdependent, and shifting organism. In the past few years, pandemics, tariffs, wars, natural disasters, and transportation chaos have tested it like never before, revealing that fragility is expensive. The companies that survive do so not through luck but through resiliency. For decades, companies built sourcing strategies around the illusion of stability—one supplier, region, and price. It worked until a port closed, a single supplier went down, or a production line froze.
