VIEWPOINT 2026: Pierre-Jean Cancalon, Head of Marketing and Communication, Essemtec



VIEWPOINT 2026: Pierre-Jean Cancalon, Head of Marketing and Communication, Essemtec
Pierre-Jean Cancalon, Head of Marketing and Communication, Essemtec
Looking ahead to 2026, Essemtec enters the year with strong momentum and a clear global vision. The successful launches in 2025 — including the FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra platforms, record-breaking high-speed solder paste jetting reaching up to 1.1 million dots per hour, and the introduction of the Tarantula dual-lane solution — have strengthened our technological leadership and reinforced customer confidence across key markets.

Regionally, we expect a particularly strong year in the United States, supported by the gradual restart of investments in electronics manufacturing, ongoing reshoring initiatives, and a growing demand for flexible, high-performance SMT solutions. In Europe, after two softer years, early signs point to a gradual recovery.

While growth is expected to remain measured, customers are once again investing with a focus on efficiency, upgradeability, and long-term sustainability — areas where Essemtec's solutions are well positioned. In Asia, we will continue to expand our footprint, building on recent successes and supporting customers with advanced dispensing and assembly technologies tailored to demanding high-mix production environments.

In 2026, Essemtec will further accelerate innovation with new product launches in both dispensing and pick & place, staying true to our focus: delivering precise, scalable, and future-ready solutions for our customers worldwide.

Our Focus – Your solution
