[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] A-Root announced on the 2nd through a public disclosure that it has signed a POS (Point Of Sale) printer supply contract worth 6.2 billion KRW with the largest POS manufacturer in Korea.

This supply contract corresponds to 18% of A-Root's consolidated sales last year, and the contract period extends until the end of 2024. Through this contract, A-Root is expected to secure stable sales and advance as the No.1 POS printer manufacturer in Korea.
