As water resource management gains global attention, Zhaolian Industries (6944-TW) is set to go public later this month, positioning itself for expansion in high-tech sectors including optoelectronics, semiconductors, and PCB manufacturing.

The company will hold a pre-listing earnings conference next Monday (5th), with Fubon Securities serving as the lead underwriter. Zhaolian has set an ambitious target to surpass NT$10 billion in revenue for 2024, supported by its current order backlog of NT$14.9 billion, which provides a solid foundation for future growth.

Diversification Strategy

While maintaining its established high-tech client base, Zhaolian is actively pursuing opportunities in water treatment projects worldwide. The company is participating in both domestic and international initiatives for recycled water processing and seawater desalination, addressing the growing global demand for sustainable water solutions.

Industry analysts note that Zhaolian's dual focus on high-tech manufacturing and water infrastructure positions it uniquely to benefit from two major global trends: semiconductor industry expansion and increasing water scarcity concerns.

2025 Outlook

Looking ahead to 2025, Zhaolian anticipates continued growth driven by the semiconductor sector's steady expansion and its clients' global expansion needs. The company expects these factors to contribute to both internal operational improvements and external revenue growth, potentially enhancing overall profitability.

The upcoming IPO comes at a time when Taiwan's high-tech supply chain is experiencing increased investor interest, particularly in companies supporting semiconductor manufacturing and environmental sustainability initiatives.
