Closer to Key Customers, with Order Visibility Extending to 2027
Driven by surging demand for advanced packaging, E&R’s dual-site strategy (Portland and Phoenix) ensures «Real-time Response» for Tier-1 clients. Kevin Chang, General Manager of E&R USA, noted that order visibility in the North American market now extends into 2027. Our dual-site strategy in Portland and Phoenix significantly bolsters our service capacity for Tier-1 clients and shortens technical support cycles. Notably, E&R’s first Phoenix collaboration with industry partners will jointly provide after-sales support and parts trading for North American end-customers.
AIS: A New Revenue Engine
Leveraging its extensive experience in hardware-software integration, E&R is introducing its AIS (Automation Integration Service) solution to North America. Unlike traditional single-equipment offerings, AIS integrates multiple process modules into unified, custom systems. This «design-to-implementation» model has already secured orders and started contributing to revenue. E&R expects significant growth between late 2026 and 2027 as AIS gains wider adoption in advanced manufacturing.
Building a Taiwan-U.S. Semiconductor Partner Platform
Kevin Chang further noted the Portland office acts as a «Semiconductor Partner Platform,» bridging Taiwanese industry peers and supply chain partners to the U.S. market. This connects Taiwan-U.S. ecosystems for global competition, with several partners already engaging end-customers to integrate Taiwanese supply chains.
To support expansion, E&R Engineering has announced a large-scale North American recruitment drive for key roles:
- Field Service Engineers: Providing on-site equipment maintenance and process optimization.
- Project Managers (PM): Managing multinational project coordination and AIS solutions, facilitating alignment between clients and supply chain partners

Comparto con muchos la visión de que la universidad, salgo contadas excepciones va muy por detrás del mundo real, con una actitud muy reactiva.
Hace años que salà de ella, aunque continúo ligado, intentando terminar otros estudios que hace tiempo comence (soy un ferviente entusiasta de estar continuamente formándome… aunque solamente sea como intención, y el estar matriculado en alguna asignatura de una 2ª carrera me ayuda en ocasiones a autoexigirme un plus adicional).
Lo penoso es que solamente mantengo relación, muy de vez en cuando, con 2 profesores. Los únicos de los que guardo un buen recuerdo. Y casualidad esta que no son profesionales de la docencia, sino profesionales de la industria privada que están en la docencia por convicción e ilusión personal. Cuánto tiene que aprender la universidad de muchas escuelas de negocios…
