Innovation in Materials

  1. Lightweight & Composite Materials
    Since 1986 when it made inroads into the auto parts business, the company has been providing a variety of
    high-strength and lightweight composite materials such as GMT, LWRT, and EPP based on its technological prowess in this area. By establishing overseas branches and manufacturing plants in Alabama and Virginia in the US, Beijing and Shanghai in China, and in Czech, the company has raised its company awareness as a global auto parts manufacturer and supplier. In 2007, the company set up the global network, by acquiring Azdel, a US-based thermoplastic composite maker.
  2. Electronics Materials
    Since 2003 when it made inroads into the area of FCCL, a core material for mobile phones, the company has contributed to developing related technologies, as well as domestically producing products in that area. It has also significantly raised the competitiveness of the domestic electronics industry. In 2012, the company expanded its business area into the TSP by successfully developing and manufacturing ITO films, a core material for TSP.
  3. Solar Materials
    In 2010, the company succeeded in domestically manufacturing EVA sheets, which protect solar cells and thereby took a significant role in the solar energy business, the Group's strategic business. The company aims to expand its production capacity to 100,000 tons by 2020 with the goal of raising its standing among the global top three players.
