Trio-Tech

What Trio-Tech does

Trio-Tech International is a Singapore-incorporated, NYSE American-listed (TRT) provider of semiconductor back-end testing solutions and industrial electronics with over 60 years of operating history. The company operates two segments. The Semiconductor Back-End Solutions (SBS) segment designs and manufactures burn-in systems (COBIS-II Series with 48-384 channel configurations), burn-in boards (over 6,500 designs to date), automated loading/unloading systems (Falcon Series), and high-precision board testers (BIBTEST 55, up to 2,048 channels), and operates ISO/IEC 17025-certified reliability testing laboratories across Asia offering burn-in, HAST, thermal shock, HTOL, and related services. SBS accounted for $12.4M of Q2 FY2026 revenue, growing 113% year-over-year.

The Industrial Electronics (IE) segment is operated through wholly-owned subsidiary Universal (Far East) Pte Ltd and includes value-added distribution of test and process equipment, electronic components (TFT LCDs, connectors, camera modules), certified aerospace solutions (aircraft parts with FAA 8130/EASA Form 1, ground support equipment, hangar doors), and sustainability solutions (DeCalon, DCI water treatment, industrial chillers).

Revenue is generated through direct enterprise field sales across five countries (USA, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, China) with 400+ employees, custom contract pricing, multi-year service agreements, and equipment sales. Recent revenue is $15.6M per quarter (Q2 FY2026) with 82% YoY growth, driven primarily by AI GPU and EV power device testing demand. A $5.3M Burn-In Board order tied to a next-generation AI GPU platform and a ~$10M April 2026 financing underscore the current AI-linked commercial momentum.
