Will you be launching new products or services in 2026?
VIEWPOINT 2026: Daniel Carrasco, General Manager, Texmac/Takaya
Daniel Carrasco, General Manager, Texmac/Takaya
We are formally launching our next generation of single and double sided machines early 2026: the 2400 series (single sided) and 2600 series (double sided sided). These machines are available in "Super Large" (-SL) versions that allow for testing of significantly larger boards with expanded test area and "Automated" or "In-Line" versions (-A).

Additionally, at the end of 2026 we will launch our lower tier focused machines: T400G single sided series. These machines will be lower cost since it does not offer functional testing nor the faster speeds that the 2400/2600 machines offer.

Have tariffs affected your business plans?
Early in our Fiscal Year starting in March, we saw lots of business stall because of the uncertainty around tariffs in the United States. Once Tariff policy stabilized and went into effect in July, we saw business skyrocket! We began to see companies that had gone completely "off-shore" to production in overseas territories, now developing entire facilities focused on PCB production in the United States / North America territory. This stability of tariffs in tandem with growing and thriving verticals such as AI, Datacenters and Aerospace, created a situation where the market grew in the states with a good outlook for the near and long term future.

Is your company using Artificial Intelligence?
Our individual stakeholders use AI in lots of everyday tasks such as sales, engineering and service processes. AI has most definitely made doing business a lot easier.

What is the outlook for your business in 2026?
The outlook is very positive! With the growth we saw in 2025, we predict that it will not stop well into 2026 and even beyond. Our team has grown as a result and we are gearing up to grow our business even more in 2026.
