With US$150 million, Han’s Laser plans to invest in building an overseas operation center

On the evening of February 24, laser equipment company Han’s Laser issued an announcement announcing that the company would further explore the international market. According to the announcement, the 14th meeting of Han’s Laser’s eighth board of directors reviewed and approved the proposal on establishing an overseas operation center on February 13.

The company plans to invest no more than US$150 million in total to select sites and build operational hubs in Southeast Asia. This major strategic move aims to get closer to the international market and accelerate the company's global business expansion by optimizing resource allocation and improving overseas service capabilities.

In terms of project implementation details, Han's Laser has made it clear that the company or its subsidiaries will be responsible for the specific construction and operation of the overseas operation center. The implementation location of the project is selected in Southeast Asia, and the specific location will depend on the final site selection result.

According to the announcement, the US$150 million required for the project will all be raised by the company itself. The project implementation period is expected to be no more than 36 months, and the starting time will be calculated from the date of obtaining the construction land or existing property rights.

Regarding the purpose of this strategic layout, Han's Laser stated that establishing a Southeast Asia operations center is an inevitable choice for the company's business development and strategic planning. Through this move, the company can directly meet the needs of overseas customers, significantly shorten service response time, and effectively seize the market growth opportunities brought by the upgrading of Southeast Asia's manufacturing industry.

Han's Laser hopes to further enhance its international competitiveness and increase its brand's share and influence in overseas markets. Although the investment amount is relatively large, the company believes that the project will not have a significant impact on the current main business and will have a positive role in promoting the company's long-term future development.

Facing the complex overseas operating environment, Han's Laser also assessed potential risks in the announcement. The company pointed out that there are certain differences between the laws and regulations, policy systems, cultural characteristics and business environment in Southeast Asia and the Chinese market. Coupled with the uncertainty of the geopolitical environment, the implementation of the project faces certain challenges. In addition, project construction involves the acquisition of land or buildings. At present, the relevant agreement has not been formally signed, and there are still variables in the project site selection and construction progress.

According to data, Han's Laser mainly operates three categories: general components and industry popular products, industry-specific products, and extreme manufacturing products. Among them, the main products of semiconductor equipment are laser surface cutting front-end wafer cutting equipment; wire bonding equipment, die bonding equipment, test taping equipment and other back-end sealing and testing equipment, as well as wafer automated transmission equipment, which are used in the production and processing of pan-semiconductors such as LEDs.

In terms of performance, in the first three quarters of 2025, Han's Laser achieved operating income of 12.713 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.51%; net profit attributable to the parent company was 863 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 39.46%.
