The global manufacturing landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. Artificial intelligence-driven production has moved beyond the experimental phase into full-scale, production-grade deployment across consumer electronics, automotive, and energy sectors. This transformation is propelled by the need for hyper personalisation and sustainability. With global investment in AI hardware projected to exceed US$200 billion in 2026, the urgency to adopt is a competitive necessity.

To lead this evolution, Laservall has made significant investments in embedding proprietary AI algorithms into its fully integrated, automated, and customised solution platforms. A globally recognised powerhouse in the production of smartphones and consumer electronics, it is aggressively expanding its footprint. Underpinning this expansion is a new global R&D hub in Hong Kong, which coordinates machine learning initiatives across Mainland China, South Korea, Singapore, India and Vietnam.

“Our mission is to move beyond generic automation to “Cognitive Manufacturing”,” says Jeffrey Chan, CFO of Laservall. “By tailoring our AI-powered platforms to the specific DNA of each client’s production line, we are delivering unprecedented efficiency to high-growth sectors like semiconductors and new energy.”

Jeffrey Chan, CFO of Laservall, says the company’s mission is to advance beyond generic automation to “Cognitive Manufacturing.

World’s first in micro-laser jet technology

Laservall’s reputation for excellence was cemented in 2021 with the world’s first multi-channel, active-aligned, fully automated micro-laser jet soldering platform. By integrating automatic optical inspection (AOI), the platform redefined industry benchmarks. “With rapid UPH (units per hour) and moving the precision from 97.5 percent to 99.9 percent yield isn’t just a technical achievement; it represents millions of dollars in reclaimed value for the global smartphone supply chain by virtually eliminating wastage and downtime”, Chan notes.

Today, Laservall is the world’s largest provider of micro-jet laser solutions for smartphone camera modules, serving as a Tier-1 partner to global giants such as Samsung. The company currently holds the highest global market share in micro-laser jet solutions for flagship smartphone applications. This leadership is now being extended to the semiconductor industry, where manufacturers in South Korea and China are adopting Laservall’s cutting-edge laser recycle technology to ensure atomic-level precision in their production lines.

Hong Kong – The Strategic Anchor for AI Innovation

Hong Kong serves as the anchor for Laservall’s R&D strategy. Following a landmark HKD$300 million investment plan announced in 2025, the company is leveraging the city’s unique position to bridge East Asia hardware expertise with global AI talent. Laservall is also actively considering the establishment of an advanced manufacturing base in the city to further localise its high-end production.

Laservall is setting its sights on establishing an advanced manufacturing base in Hong Kong.

“Our global R&D and professional workforce has already tripled from 250 to over 800, and we are on a clear trajectory to increase it several folds by 2030,” says Chan. “Hong Kong offers a world-class talent ecosystem. Through the Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), we have seamless access to a vibrant network of startups, industry partners and research institutes that are essential for rapid AI iteration.”

Beyond talent, Hong Kong’s status as a premier financial hub provides the governance and strategic capital necessary for Laservall’s sustainable global scaling. The technical dividends of this ecosystem are already evident. “We have developed proprietary machine learning feedback loops that process physical data in real-time to adjust laser parameters autonomously,” Chan explains. “This shift from traditional rule-based systems to adaptive AI has reduced processing errors by nearly 40 percent and removed the need for manual intervention, significantly boosting the reliability of our customers’ most sensitive applications.”

Laservall has increased its global R&D and professional workforce from 250 to over 800 over the past few years.

Keep Up” for pushing boundaries
Laservall’s “Keep Up” mindset drives its constant search for new innovation frontiers. “For instance, we receive support from several governments and participate in government level R&D partnerships, including a major collaboration on laser applications with the Government of South Korea,” Chan says.
