Artificial intelligence is pushing local manufacturing to the limit. Electronics manufacturing giant EMS Group is rolling out an aggressive, multi-year capacity expansion to keep pace with skyrocketing demand for artificial intelligence hardware.
“Kulang kami ng capacity ngayon,” admitted Chairman and CEO Ferdinand Ferrer, noting that company growth is outpacing broader industry projections.
To tackle the crunch, EMS is scaling up production lines spanning from front-end to back-end operations over the next three years. While AI equipment now drives nearly 20 percent of the business, Ferrer is deliberately capping that share below the threshold to prevent dangerous over-reliance on a single tech sector.
Instead of putting all its eggs in one AI-shaped basket, EMS is smartly diversifying its portfolio. The firm is actively targeting high-growth opportunities in semiconductors, automotive electronics, and the domestic electric vehicle ecosystem, including technical capabilities and charging infrastructure. This balanced growth strategy is further supported by confidential, high-level investment talks currently underway with a prospective global partner.
By prioritizing disciplined risk management alongside aggressive scaling, EMS is positioning itself as a resilient, multi-sector powerhouse ready to anchor the region’s evolving technology supply chain.
