Nightfood Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), operating as TechForce Robotics, has acquired the technology, designs, and know-how for automated optical inspection (AOI) machines used in advanced semiconductor packaging from Taiwan-based Jun Long Machine Industrial Co. Ltd. The transaction, which closed on October 19, 2026, grants exclusive licensing rights to Nightfood’s wholly owned subsidiary, TechForce Advanced Manufacturing Inc. (TAMI). The company plans to begin equipment sales and shipments in late November or early December, contingent on production readiness at a planned 20,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Taiwan and other requirements.
Initial production targets call for 10 to 15 units per month, which at an estimated $150,000 per unit represents potential sales of $1.5 million to $2.25 million. Management aims to scale production to approximately 30 units per month. These figures are management targets rather than confirmed orders or guaranteed revenue, but they signal the company’s ambition to become a meaningful player in the semiconductor inspection equipment market. For investors, the acquisition marks a strategic shift for Nightfood Holdings, which was previously known for its Nightfood ice cream brand before pivoting to robotics and automation. The move into semiconductor manufacturing aligns with growing demand for advanced packaging technologies, particularly as the industry moves toward chiplet-based designs and CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) packaging for high-performance computing and AI applications.
TechForce Advanced Manufacturing was formed to develop, manufacture, commercialize, install, and support semiconductor automation and inspection systems. Its initial focus is expanding Wafer Sorter and AOI production for wafer-based semiconductor and CoWoS-related advanced-packaging applications, while pursuing future applications supporting emerging Chip-on-Panel-on-Substrate (CoPoS) manufacturing processes. The AOI machines are critical for quality control in advanced packaging, where defects can significantly impact yield and reliability.
The acquisition could position Nightfood Holdings to capitalize on the semiconductor industry’s need for automated inspection solutions, especially as packaging complexity increases. However, the company faces execution risks, including the ramp-up of its Taiwan facility, production readiness, and market acceptance.
