SUSS MicroTec Optimizes Production and Revises 2026 Forecast

On October 27, 2026, SUSS MicroTec SE announced a strategic shift in its production operations. The company will centralize manufacturing at its primary sites in Zhubei, Taiwan, and Sternenfels, Germany. This decision affects around 70 employees at the Garching site, with efforts being made for a socially responsible transition in coordination with employee representatives.

The relocation aims to bolster scalability, efficiency, and competitiveness. SUSS expects one-time expenses of approximately €6.2 million, with €4.5 million accounted for in fiscal year 2026. Consequently, sales guidance has been adjusted to €405-425 million, down from €425-485 million. The EBIT margin is also lowered to 5-7% from the previously forecasted 8-10%, while the gross profit margin projection remains at 35-37%.
