SUNDBYBERG, SWEDEN -- NCAB Group reported second-quarter net sales of approximately $122 million, up 30% from a year ago, as demand for printed circuit boards remained strong amid continued investment in AI data centers and constrained global supply chains.

Order intake rose to approximately $164 million, a 66% increase, driven by higher PCB prices, customer pre-buying and continued demand from the aerospace, defense, medtech and data center markets. The company said ongoing shortages of PCB materials and manufacturing capacity continued to extend lead times during the quarter.

NCAB also completed its acquisition of US-based Board Shark in June, expanding its sales network in the Pacific Northwest.
