Bob Daigle, Executive Chairman at Amtech Systems, appeared at the Planet MicroCap Las Vegas 2026 webcast on June 17, 2026, where he provided an overview of the company’s operations and recent performance. He described Amtech as benefiting from infrastructure investments related to AI, citing increased demand for its equipment in advanced semiconductor packaging. Daigle noted that the company’s annualized revenue is approximately $80 million, with a focus on building a recurring consumables business, such as its CMP slurry for niche applications. He reported that the specialty chemicals segment grew 15% year-over-year in the most recent quarter, though he characterized the company as still in a pipeline-building phase. Daigle also discussed Amtech’s financial turnaround, stating that when he stepped in as CEO in August 2023, the company was burning $2–3 million per quarter in cash and had $11 million in bank debt while violating covenants. He outlined a three-phase strategy—survive, optimize, and revitalize—and noted that the company has since moved to a contract manufacturing model, which improved gross margins on certain products from 15–20% to over 40%. He expressed confidence in Amtech’s market position, citing doubled equipment deliveries without increased lead times and pointing to panel-level packaging as a growth opportunity.
