AI Boom Drives Investments in PCB Manufacturing
Data processing centers, cloud services, autonomous vehicles – the global hunger for processing power has been driving the market for highly complex PCBs for many months. This development is also evident at SIEB & MEYER AG based in Lueneburg (Germany): in the first half of 2025, the company achieved a sales increase of more than 70 percent compared to the same period of the previous year, which confirms the course of the past years. After a remarkable annual result 2024, the supplier of CNC controls and drive controllers for high-speed applications continues its growth trend.
In 2024, SIEB & MEYER AG was already able to increase sales by 55 percent to 55.7 million euros. The driving force of this success was the high demand for PCB drilling and routing machines on the Asian market. These positive figures were maintained throughout the first six months of 2025. In order to fulfill the high volume of orders, SIEB & MEYER recruited more than 90 new employees in the production department. This enables the company to guarantee a continuous and reliable supply to customers.
In terms of technology, SIEB & MEYER also has set the course for the future: with the end of the first half year, all CNC customers have switched to the new control generation CNC 93.00 for PCB routing machines and CNC 95.00 for PCB drilling machines. Both control versions offer intuitive operation and high clarity, which makes the training of new operators easier and reduces errors. Regarding interfaces, the CNC 9x.00 generation sets new standards for networking and automation of PCB drilling/routing machines thanks to its IIoT technology based on OPC UA.
"The demand for highly complex PCBs caused by the AI boom sets an investment cycle in motion that affects the entire market," explained Torsten Blankenburg, CTO at SIEB & MEYER AG. “We reacted to this development early on and systematically expanded our production capacities. Now, we are able to satisfy the needs of our customers even in times of very high demand.”
The business unit of drive controllers for high-speed applications was at a similar level in the first half of 2025 as in the previous year – this is a consequence of the cautious market situation in the field of classic mechanical engineering. Owing to the continuous development of the SD4x generation, SIEB & MEYER AG could set a positive trend and further expand its market position despite the general market conditions.
