The company is valued at only €56M on the stock market, yet it is one of just four global players controlling around 90% of the market for precision glass used in semiconductors — and it is already confirmed as part of Google’s AI infrastructure supply chain through MEMS mirrors that took three years to qualify and are nearly impossible to replace.
Glass substrates are the key enabler of Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and advanced packaging — technologies that NVIDIA, Intel, TSMC, and Samsung are now aggressively moving into — and PLANOPTIK has patented TGV technology and 60 years of glass IP that cannot easily be replicated.
The company is at a cyclical inflection point after two years of customer inventory destocking, has zero debt, a new production hall ready, and expects accelerating growth from 2027 — while the market is pricing it as if it were an ordinary small manufacturing company, not a critical component supplier for next-generation AI infrastructure.
