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 deal, which closed on October 19, 2026, grants exclusive licensing rights to Nightfood’s wholly owned subsidiary, TechForce Advanced Manufacturing Inc. (TAMI), according to a Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF) announcement.
The strategic move marks a significant pivot for Nightfood, which was previously known for its nightfood snack business, into the high-growth semiconductor equipment sector. The AOI machines are critical for quality control in advanced packaging processes such as CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate), which are essential for manufacturing high-performance computing chips used in AI and data centers. By acquiring this technology, Nightfood aims to capitalize on the surging demand for semiconductor inspection tools driven by the global chip shortage and the expansion of advanced packaging capacities.
TechForce Advanced Manufacturing plans to begin equipment sales and shipments in late November or early December, subject to production readiness at a planned 20,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Taiwan. Initial production targets call for 10 to 15 units per month, representing potential sales of $1.5 million to $2.25 million at an estimated $150,000 per unit. The company intends to scale up to approximately 30 units per month, which could generate annual revenue in the range of $54 million. However, these figures are management targets and not confirmed orders or guaranteed revenue.
The acquisition is important because it provides Nightfood with a foothold in the semiconductor supply chain, a sector experiencing robust growth due to the proliferation of AI, 5G, and Internet of Things technologies. Advanced packaging is becoming increasingly vital as traditional Moore’s Law scaling slows, and AOI machines help ensure yield and reliability in these complex processes. TechForce’s focus on wafer sorters and AOI systems for wafer-based semiconductor and CoWoS-related applications positions it to address a critical need in the market.
For investors, the news signals a potential transformation for Nightfood, which has been a micro-cap stock with limited revenue. The semiconductor equipment market is dominated by large players, but niche opportunities exist for specialized inspection tools. The company’s ability to ramp production and secure customer orders will be key to realizing its targets. The full press release can be accessed at https://ibn.fm/CLYZr.
