- Nightfood Holdings has formed TechForce Advanced Manufacturing to pursue a strategic partnership with JUN LONG MACHINE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.
- The new venture is targeting initial production and revenue generation in Q4 2026, supported by existing purchase orders held by JUN LONG.
- The partnership will initially focus on automated wafer sorting and optical inspection equipment for 8-inch and 12-inch semiconductor wafers.
Nightfood Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), doing business as TechForce Robotics, is taking another step toward expanding its technology and automation business into semiconductor manufacturing equipment with the formation of TechForce Advanced Manufacturing, Inc.
The newly established Nevada corporation is being created to pursue a strategic advanced-manufacturing partnership with JUN LONG MACHINE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD., bringing together manufacturing expertise, technical capabilities and commercialization resources. The venture is intended to be owned 51% by Nightfood and 49% by JUN LONG.
Under the planned arrangement, JUN LONG is expected to contribute manufacturing expertise, product-development capabilities, technical know-how and customer relationships. Nightfood, meanwhile, is expected to provide access to capital-raising resources, public-company infrastructure, strategic oversight and commercialization support.
Importantly, the venture is being established with an existing source of potential demand. JUN LONG currently holds purchase orders from key customers, representing orders that TechForce Advanced Manufacturing expects to begin fulfilling once the definitive agreement is completed. The company is therefore targeting the start of production and initial revenue generation in Q4 2026, subject to the completion of the agreement, customer orders and applicable qualification requirements.
The timing and amount of any resulting revenue will depend on production schedules, deliveries, customer acceptance and other factors. Even so, the existing purchase orders provide an important commercial component to the planned expansion as Nightfood prepares to establish additional manufacturing capacity, suppliers, engineering support and customer-integration resources.
The initial commercial focus will be an automated Wafer Sorter and Automated Optical Inspection (“AOI”) system designed to support both 8-inch and 12-inch silicon wafers.
The system is designed to combine automated inspection and grading, identification-based sorting, robotic wafer handling, front-side optical character recognition (“OCR”) and optional Semiconductor Equipment Communication Standard (“SECS”) factory connectivity. These capabilities are intended to support wafer identification, transfer, sorting and inspection across semiconductor and advanced-packaging production environments.
The opportunity comes as semiconductor manufacturing continues to demand increasingly automated and sophisticated equipment. The global semiconductor wafer inspection equipment market is expected to grow from approximately $7.05 billion in 2026 to roughly $9.67 billion by 2030.
The technology also has applications related to Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate (“CoWoS”), an advanced packaging approach used to integrate chiplets, processors and high-bandwidth memory into high-performance packages supporting AI and other advanced computing applications.
For Nightfood Holdings, the formation of TechForce Advanced Manufacturing represents a move beyond simply developing automation technology toward establishing a manufacturing and commercialization platform around semiconductor equipment.
With JUN LONG contributing manufacturing and technical capabilities and Nightfood bringing public-company resources and commercialization support, the partnership is designed to combine complementary strengths while pursuing an immediate commercial opportunity.
As the companies work toward finalizing their definitive agreement and preparing the necessary manufacturing resources, the planned Q4 2026 production and revenue target gives investors a near-term milestone to watch as Nightfood advances its semiconductor manufacturing strategy.
