Trio-Tech International has secured a three-year production burn-in contract with a new automotive semiconductor customer across Europe and North America. The contract requires minimum billings of approximately $4.7 million over its term, with potential to scale up to $6 million. The customer is a leading global Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM), and the program supports a major electric vehicle (EV) semiconductor application.
Under the contract, Trio-Tech will provide production burn-in services, meaning testing components under stress conditions to catch early failures, for an automotive semiconductor product supporting a major EV application. This marks the second EV semiconductor customer to select Trio-Tech for this kind of production burn-in work, further validating the company's capabilities and expanding its footprint in the automotive semiconductor market.
Automotive-grade semiconductors need to meet strict requirements around qualification, traceability, and reliability. Trio-Tech says its burn-in capabilities, operational processes, and experience supporting demanding semiconductor applications position the company to help customers meet these standards throughout the production lifecycle.
S.W. Yong, chairman and CEO of Trio-Tech, said this three-year contract with the company's second EV semiconductor customer represents another important step in expanding Trio-Tech's automotive semiconductor business. He said the contract provides meaningful multi-year revenue visibility while further validating the company's production burn-in capabilities with a new global IDM customer. He noted that the program relies on Trio-Tech's proprietary burn-in system, fully customized to meet the customer's specific requirements, and said the company believes its technical expertise, proprietary burn-in systems, and established operating presence in Asia position it to capture additional opportunities as automotive semiconductor content and reliability requirements continue to increase.
Semiconductor content per vehicle continues growing as automakers advance software-defined vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, electrification, and autonomous driving technology. These trends are increasing the need for high-reliability testing and burn-in services that support the long-term performance and safety of mission-critical automotive components.
The new contract further diversifies Trio-Tech's customer base and reinforces the company's position as a qualified production partner for global semiconductor manufacturers with demanding reliability requirements.
