Han's Laser (002008) announced on the evening of February 24th that, in order to expand its overseas business and enhance its service capabilities, the company plans to invest US$150 million to establish an operations center overseas, tentatively located in Southeast Asia. This investment does not constitute a related-party transaction or a major asset restructuring.
The announcement from Han's Laser indicates that the project funds will be self-raised by the company, and the implementation period is expected to be no more than 36 months.
Regarding the purpose of the overseas investment and its impact on the company, Han's Laser stated that this investment is necessary for the company's strategic planning and business development. It will help the company seize overseas market opportunities, meet the needs of overseas customers, enhance resource allocation and operational efficiency, accelerate overseas business expansion, and thereby enhance the company's influence and competitiveness in the international market. Han's Laser believes that this investment will have a positive effect on the company's future development but will not have a significant impact on its current main business.
Meanwhile, Han's Laser warned of risks, stating that the investment project involves a large amount of capital and is located overseas. It may not be completed on schedule due to factors such as the geopolitical environment, project site selection, and construction progress. Therefore, the company will quickly familiarize itself with and adapt to the local business environment in Southeast Asia, implementing the project with a proactive yet prudent approach and establishing a sound management system.
According to Han's Laser's Q3 2025 report, the company achieved operating revenue of 5.1 billion yuan in the third quarter, a year-on-year increase of 35.14%; net profit attributable to shareholders was 375 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 86.51%. Since the beginning of this year, with the gradual recovery of downstream industry demand, the company's operating situation has gradually improved.
Recently, Han's Laser disclosed in its investor relations activity record that the current manufacturing supply chain is showing a diversified development trend, with equipment demand in Southeast Asia showing a significant upward trend. The company is vigorously expanding its overseas R&D and sales teams, keeping pace with major customers, and seizing market opportunities brought about by supply chain diversification.
Furthermore, Han's Laser stated that in the overseas PCB market, due to the accelerated diversification of supply chains by international electronic terminal brands, PCB industry investment projects in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Vietnam have commenced production. With the restructuring of the industrial chain, the United States, Europe and other regions will build entirely new supply systems to serve the development of the semiconductor industry.
