Lanner Electronics to Invest in Humanoid Robot Modules, Targeting Double-Digit Growth

Taiwanese LED manufacturer Lanner Electronics (3717) is strategically expanding its business beyond automotive products into key modules for humanoid robots and Micro LED applications in silicon photonics. Chairman Huang Kuo-hsin announced at a recent investor conference that the company is pursuing military application certifications and anticipates a profit increase in the second quarter compared to the first.

The company projects double-digit revenue growth for the full year 2026. A significant part of this growth is expected to come from its new Mexico facility. Lanner Electronics will transfer 88 module orders to this plant, with mass production slated to begin in the second half of the year. Initially, the Mexico plant will feature 18 production lines, with plans to expand to 45 lines. This expansion is projected to increase the plant's utilization rate from 7% in the third quarter to 73% by the fourth quarter, with a first-phase output value of $200 million and full capacity by 2028.

Lanner Electronics is not only deeply cultivating automotive products but is also actively deploying three major key modules for humanoid robots, as well as Micro LED in silicon photonics applications.

Further expansion of the Mexico plant is planned with a second phase in 2029, aiming to secure orders for electronic control units (ECUs) required for automotive and AI robots. This expansion could bring the total output value to $500 million. Additionally, Lanner's subsidiary, EOI US (Cayman), is raising $20 million in pre-IPO funding and plans to list in the United States.

Lanner Electronics focuses on three key robot modules: visual lighting, MCU control, and intelligent sensors, leveraging its expertise in converting "light" into "the eyes of machines." The company aims to complete new customer factory inspections and prototype sampling by the end of this year, utilizing the geographical advantages of its Mexico plant. North America currently accounts for 80% of Lanner's business. For the first five months of 2026, consolidated revenue reached NT$2.98 billion, a 27% increase year-on-year, with automotive lighting comprising about 91% of revenue.
