Management Comment
Rafi Amit, Camtek’s CEO commented, “We are pleased to see the improvement in our results from the first quarter, in terms of both revenues and margins. We are particularly encouraged by the momentum in the industry and the flow of orders. In addition to our recently reported 42 system orders received, a tier one HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) manufacturer has placed an order for 10 systems, and more orders for HBM applications are in the pipeline. We expect that chiplet modules and HBM will account for over 30% of our business in 2024.
Continued Mr Amit, “This will translate into initial growth in the second half of 2023 and to a full extent in 2024, that we believe will be a record year for Camtek. The momentum is fueled by the major industry investment in AI. Camtek’s role as a key equipment supplier to the manufacturers of chiplet modules and HBM will benefit from this trend. With new technologies in the industry and the business momentum, we believe that 2024 will be an important step in reaching our next milestone of becoming a 500-million-dollar company.”

Defense Speak Interpreted: If CHIPS Cuts Back, What Happens to Electronics Packaging Funds?
09/02/2025 | Dennis Fritz -- Column: Defense Speak InterpretedIn my May column, I examined the topic of the CHIPS Act and its current status as a U.S. government program.
