Glocom product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Glocom manufactures custom rigid and aluminum printed circuit boards (PCBs), offering configurations from 2-layer to 70-layer boards with advanced capabilities including Any-Layer HDI, thick copper up to 6 oz, back-drill, tight impedance control, and via-in-pad resin plug. The company serves automotive, aerospace, medical, telecom, and industrial electronics manufacturers with both quick-turn prototyping (2-3 day lead times) and mass production runs across 8 facilities in Taiwan and China.
Product overview
Glocom offers a comprehensive portfolio of PCB products centered around Rigid PCB and Aluminum PCB categories. The core Rigid PCB product line includes various HDI (High-Density Interconnect) boards ranging from simple 2-layer to complex 70-layer configurations (such as 44-layer, 22-layer, and 38-layer HDI variants), with advanced capabilities like any-layer HDI, high-layer backplanes up to 70 layers, thick copper up to 6 oz, back-drill technology, tight impedance control, via-in-pad resin plug, and high-aspect micro-vias. Different materials are supported including FR4 (TG140-180), halogen-free options, Rogers, Isola, and Polyimide. Surface finish options include ENIG, Immersion Tin/Silver, OSP, Lead-free HASL, and Hard Gold. The Aluminum PCB line addresses thermal management needs with aluminum boards and blind via capabilities. Applications span mobile devices, IoT, wearables, 77 GHz radar, ADAS cameras, data-center switches, AI servers, 5G base-band units, EV traction inverters, industrial motor drives, and aerospace. Quick-turn prototype lead times range from 2-3 days (2 layers) to 5-8 days (8 layers), with mass production capabilities for high-volume orders.

Glocom competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Ibiden Co., Ltd. Japanese PCB leader focused on IC substrates and high-end HDI. A larger, more diversified incumbent that overlaps with Glocom's high-layer and HDI product lines but operates at greater scale and broader scope.
- TTM Technologies, Inc. US-headquartered PCB manufacturer producing HDI, rigid, flex, and RF/microwave PCBs for aerospace/defense, automotive, and networking. Comparable end-market exposure (auto, defense, telecom) to Glocom but at much larger scale.
- AT&S (Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik AG): European-headquartered high-end PCB and IC substrate manufacturer serving mobile, automotive, and industrial customers. Comparable as a broader incumbent competing in the same HDI and substrate-adjacent technology tiers.
Direct peers
- Zhen Ding Technology Holding: Taiwan-listed PCB manufacturer producing HDI, rigid-flex, and substrate-like PCBs for smartphones, networking, and AI/datacenter applications. Direct competitor in advanced HDI and high-layer-count boards.
- Tripod Technology Corporation: Taiwan PCB maker specializing in HDI, multilayer, and high-layer-count boards for automotive, networking, and consumer electronics. Closely overlaps with Glocom's HDI and high-layer backplane product lines.
- Compeq Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Taiwan PCB maker with strong HDI and any-layer HDI capabilities serving networking, server, and consumer end-markets. Comparable on HDI technology stack and end-market mix to Glocom.
- WUS Printed Circuit (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. Taiwan-headquartered PCB manufacturer producing HDI, multilayer, and rigid PCBs primarily for automotive and industrial customers. Comparable to Glocom on multilayer PCB capability and automotive certifications.
- Shennan Circuits Co., Ltd. China-based PCB manufacturer producing HDI, high-multilayer, and rigid-flex PCBs for communications, automotive, and industrial customers. Comparable to Glocom on product technology and Chinese manufacturing footprint.
- Unimicron Technology Corp. Taiwan-headquartered global PCB leader producing HDI, rigid, flex, and IC substrate PCBs. Most comparable to Glocom by product portfolio, technology tier, and Taiwan-based operational footprint.
- Shenzhen Kinwong Electronic Co., Ltd. China-based PCB producer offering HDI, multilayer, metal-core, and flexible PCBs across communications, consumer, automotive, and industrial end-markets. Comparable on technology portfolio and Chinese mass-production footprint.
