Will you be launching new products or services in 2026?
Innovation is at the core of our culture, and we will continue expanding our product offerings in 2026. This includes advanced packaging materials and metal thermal interface materials designed to support high-performance computing, particularly AI-driven applications, where power density and thermal performance are increasingly critical.

Have tariffs affected your business plans?
As a global corporation, adaptability is fundamental to our strategy. Anticipating change and planning for the future are essential in an increasingly dynamic environment. Indium Corporation closely monitors global policy shifts and emerging trends across economies, sustainability, and supply chains. This proactive approach has enabled us to maintain a resilient global supply chain while continuing to innovate in support of our customers’ long-term needs.

Is your company using Artificial Intelligence?
We encourage our teams across all departments to leverage available AI tools, but more importantly, Indium Corporation is enabling the growth of AI through advanced material solutions. As AI system demands continue to rise, delivering more power to processors while effectively managing heat has become a critical challenge.

We are working closely with semiconductor packaging partners to address these issues through our metal thermal interface materials and advanced solders, which are designed to improve thermal performance and long-term reliability in high-power AI processors and servers.

What is the outlook for your business in 2026?
The future is bright. Indium Corporation is a trusted partner to leading semiconductor and advanced technology companies, supporting innovation across AI, advanced packaging, and thermal management.

Growth in 2026 is being driven by the increasing need for materials that improve performance, reliability, and scalability in high-density electronic systems. Guided by our belief that materials science changes the world, we remain focused on solving complex technical challenges while continuing to invest in the people and culture that make that progress possible.
