Taiwan's leading self-branded filtration manufacturer Ascentch (4556-TW) announced today (10th) that its revenue for July 2026 reached NT$85.04 million, setting a new monthly record, with a month-on-month increase of 38.69% and a year-on-year surge of 67.43%. Cumulative revenue from January to July 2026 reached NT$429 million, up 16.57% year-on-year, also the highest in the same period in history. Ascentch expects its 2026 full-year revenue to surpass the 2025 level of NT$673 million, achieving double-digit growth.
Ascentch stated that the record-breaking July revenue was primarily driven by concentrated shipments and revenue recognition of industrial liquid filtration equipment orders, supported by semiconductor customers' new factory expansion projects in Europe. Additionally, robust demand from Taiwan-based semiconductor, memory, and related clients for new facility construction and production line expansion boosted shipments of its self-branded Filtrafine filtration equipment and consumables.
Ascentch noted that the global semiconductor, memory, AI high-end substrate, and data center supply chains continue to advance multi-regional new factory construction and capacity expansion plans. Beyond the demand for industrial liquid filtration equipment driven by new facility builds, Ascentch anticipates that increased utilization rates and output scales at existing customer sites will lead to higher consumption of facility water and ultrapure water, thereby increasing the frequency and volume of replacements for filter cartridges, filter bags, and other consumables. Unlike large-scale filtration equipment, which is primarily shipped during factory construction and expansion phases, consumable demand continues as customers' production lines enter trial production, mass production, and higher utilization stages. This dynamic enhances the synergies between equipment and consumables businesses and strengthens the sustainability of Ascentch's operational growth.
Ascentch continues to advance the development and customer validation of high-end filtration products, targeting applications involving perfluorinated materials in semiconductor processes, CMP process filtration, and high-purity liquid filtration. As advanced processes, memory technologies, and advanced packaging continue to evolve, the requirements for filtration precision, chemical resistance, and stability in process chemicals, slurries, and high-purity liquids are rising in tandem. Progress in product validation is steadily advancing, helping Ascentch gradually penetrate the higher-barrier 'process-side' filtration application markets, strengthening its business footprint and growth momentum in advanced manufacturing segments.
Moreover, with the rapid growth in demand for AI servers and data center deployments driving needs in coolant filtration, water treatment, recycled water use, and equipment protection, there is potential for Ascentch's Filtrafine industrial liquid filtration products to open new application scenarios. The company will continue to leverage its existing liquid filtration technologies, material development capabilities, and experience in serving high-tech clients to deepen its multi-application布局 in AI liquid cooling, semiconductor processes, and facility-side solutions, aiming to deliver strong future operational growth.
Ascentch will release its 2026 first-half financial results on August 13.
