Teradyne and MultiLane have formed a joint venture, MultiLane Test Products (MLTP), to deliver end‑to‑end test solutions for AI data‑center equipment. The partnership combines MultiLane’s high‑speed I/O test and measurement assets with Teradyne’s global semiconductor‑test platform and customer base.
Under the structure, MultiLane contributes all of its test and measurement assets to MLTP while retaining its interconnect and data‑center test businesses. Teradyne will hold majority ownership, leveraging its worldwide reach, while MultiLane will maintain minority ownership, bringing its technical expertise in high‑speed instrumentation. The joint venture is designed to accelerate the development of test solutions that span wafer‑level to system‑level for AI accelerators and networking components.
Teradyne’s recent financial results underscore the strategic fit. Q3 2025 revenue rose 18% QoQ to $769 million, driven by a $606 million contribution from its Semiconductor Test segment, $88 million from Product Test, and $75 million from Robotics. The semiconductor segment benefited from strong AI demand and pricing power, while the robotics segment faced headwinds that weighed on overall profitability. Management guided Q4 2025 revenue to $920 million–$1 billion, reflecting continued confidence in AI‑driven growth despite robotics challenges.
Greg Smith, President and CEO of Teradyne, said the joint venture “expands our ability to support customers from wafer level to the data center,” highlighting the company’s pivot toward AI‑driven markets. Fadi Daou, Founder and CEO of MultiLane, added that the partnership “positions us to meet the speed and complexity demands of next‑generation AI and data‑center deployments.” The collaboration aligns with Teradyne’s broader strategy to grow its semiconductor‑test business while investing in AI‑enabled robotics.
The JV positions both companies to capture the rapidly expanding AI data‑center test market, where demand for high‑bandwidth interconnects is accelerating. By combining Teradyne’s global sales network with MultiLane’s high‑speed test technology, the joint venture can offer differentiated, end‑to‑end solutions that may improve margins and reduce time‑to‑market for AI accelerators. Headwinds in the robotics segment remain a concern, but the AI tailwind and the joint venture’s focus on high‑speed interconnects provide a clear growth path.
MLTP is expected to close in the first half of 2026. The partnership is a material development that expands Teradyne’s product portfolio beyond traditional mobile and industrial automation segments and strengthens its position in the high‑growth AI data‑center market.
