iPhone 6 Orders Seen to Boost Flexium's Profit for 2015
July 1, 2015 | DigitimesEstimated reading time: Less than a 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.

Materials and Manufacturing for the AI Era: The Next PCB Frontier
08/08/2025 | Edy Yu, Chief Editor, ECIO, and the I-Connect007 Editorial TeamAI is pushing hardware to its limits, and the bottleneck isn’t design anymore—it’s materials. Next-generation AI servers aren’t just heavier on layer counts. They demand better materials to handle the speed, heat, and signal integrity requirements of 400G, 800G, and even 1.6T Ethernet systems. Many server motherboards are already 32–36 layers. For the next wave of 1.6T-capable boards, expect 40–50 layers, which must maintain high-frequency performance without degrading signal quality.
