Technologie: Trumpf wächst massiv im Geschäft mit der Chipindustrie
Der Laserspezialist wird zum Gewinner des KI-Booms. Wie stark die Produktion erhöht wird, verrät der Technikchef des Unternehmens im Gespräch mit dem Handelsblatt.
Stuttgart and Munich - Laser specialist Trumpf is expanding its business in the chip industry, capitalizing on the boom in the semiconductor sector during challenging times. While it may take several years for the semiconductor division to become Trumpf's largest segment, Technik-Vorstand Berthold Schmidt asserts that the company's order intake and sales forecasts place it proportionally ahead in this area.
This initiative extends beyond a mere growth project, as the firm has lost around a billion euros in revenue since the record-breaking year of 2022/23, with CEO Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller cutting roughly 1,000 positions in Germany over the past year and a half. In an exclusive interview with the Handelsblatt, the technical chief divulges the extent to which Trumpf plans to expand its production capacities, the role of chip assembler ASML in these efforts, and other promising business areas. Furthermore, Trumpf is creating new jobs in Germany.
