Apple suppliers turn manufacturing expertise toward AI hardware
TMTPost's Market Value Observer examines how Apple supply-chain companies including Lens Technology, Luxshare Precision, Goertek and Foxconn Industrial Internet are expanding into AI servers, liquid cooling, AI glasses and robotics. It cites Lens Technology's proposed $25 million cash acquisition of a 59.78% stake in PMG, which would indirectly control YuanShi Technology and strengthen its server-cabinet and liquid-cooling business. The analysis says these firms are reusing precision-manufacturing, thermal-management, optics and large-scale delivery capabilities built in consumer electronics.
The reported investments illustrate how established consumer-electronics manufacturers are becoming suppliers in AI hardware, particularly for servers and liquid-cooling systems.

不久前，蓝思科技发出公告，拟以2500万美元（约合人民币1.72亿元）现金，收购萨摩亚离岸主体PMG（裴美高国际）59.78%的股权，间接控制元拾科技，进一步加码服务器机柜及液冷业务。
其实不只是蓝思，立讯精密、歌尔股份、工业富联等果链企业也在通过不同路径扩大AI相关业务。过去被市场担心过度依赖消费电子的果链企业，如今却成了AI硬件产业争夺的重要制造力量。
AI时代，能不能让这批果链上的企业再做大一次？
集体转型
曾经，果链企业能快速成长的市场前提是，消费电子（尤其是智能手机）仍处在高速渗透和频繁换机的阶段。但如今，这个前提已经变了。
