National Aerospace Fasteners Corp. reported a surge in July revenue and record first-half results as strong demand continued for aircraft engine parts, DigiTimes reports. The Taiwan-based fastener manufacturer said July revenue rose 53% to NT$494 million (US$15.3 million) - NAFCO’s second-highest monthly level on record.

For the first seven months of 2026, revenue rose 37.31% year-on-year to a record NT$3.084 billion as robust aircraft engine demand drove ongoing capacity expansion. NAFCO is building a new plant in Malaysia and recently approved a capital increase for its Kunshan plant in China that mainly produces fasteners and structural parts for aircraft, ships, vehicles, and industrial uses.

Second-quarter revenue climbed 40.4% to NT$1.4 billion, gross profit rose 31.1% to NT$321 million, and operating profit increased 26.3% to NT$173 million. Net profit jumped 108.5% to NT$134 million, and earnings per share reached a record NT$2.09.

However, NAFCO margins weakened even as profit grew, with gross margin falling 2 percentage points from the previous quarter to 23.2% while operating margin dropped 1.45 bps to 12.49%.

For the first half of 2026, consolidated revenue rose 34.7% to NT$2.6 billion, net profit increased 47.4% to NT$258 million, and first-half EPS reached a record NT$4.01.
