  • Taiwanese technology company Broadcom (6125) celebrated its 50th anniversary, highlighting its strategic investments in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, robotics, and drones.
  • The company's chairman noted significant growth in semiconductor orders and strong performance in AI data center cooling systems and third-generation semiconductor materials.
  • Broadcom plans to leverage its established technical foundation and talent for future growth, with the second generation of leadership taking the helm.

Broadcom, a prominent smart manufacturing firm, marked its 50th anniversary with a large-scale "50th Anniversary Family Day Event" held at the National Taiwan University Sports Center. Founded in 1976 by Chairman Hsieh Ching-fu and Vice President Pai Chou-huang with a modest capital of NT$100,000, the company has grown significantly over five decades through a spirit of hard work and continuous learning.

Looking ahead, Chairman Hsieh Ming-kai emphasized two key strategic initiatives poised for significant returns: Jinyun Technology, which focuses on AI data center water-cooling solutions, and Shengxin Materials, specializing in third-generation semiconductors. Both ventures have shown promising results this year, contributing to Broadcom's expansion into AI, semiconductors, robotics, and drone technologies.

In 1976, Vice President Pai Chou-huang and I started this company with just NT$100,000 in capital. We built it step by step with the spirit of being willing to work, willing to learn, and not fearing hardship.

โ€” Hsieh Ching-fuThe company's founder reflected on the company's humble beginnings during the 50th-anniversary celebration.

Broadcom's journey began with automated equipment, and it has since diversified into electronics, machinery, and chemical industries. The company has also undertaken major public infrastructure projects, including terminals at Taoyuan International Airport, safety doors for the MRT system, and the National Library. Recognizing the burgeoning AI trend, Broadcom proactively invested in water-cooling system research seven years ago, anticipating the rapid growth in demand for AI servers and data centers.

With a solid foundation in technology, talent, and industry, Broadcom is confident about its future. The company anticipates continued strong growth, with semiconductor-related orders experiencing a multi-fold increase compared to last year. AI data center businesses are projected to grow by 20% to 30% this year, with Shengxin Materials showing particularly remarkable performance, surpassing its entire previous year's revenue in the first half of 2026. Broadcom aims to maintain double-digit growth moving forward.

This year, semiconductor-related orders have seen a multi-fold increase compared to last year, indicating that our strategic investments are gradually bearing fruit. For AI Data Centers, our three major business segments are expected to achieve over 20% to 30% growth this year.

โ€” Hsieh Ming-kaiThe chairman highlighted the company's strong performance and growth projections for the current year.
