[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Abko is expanding its smart device charging locker business, ‘PadBank,’ targeting elementary, middle, and high schools nationwide.


On the 25th, Abko announced that it was selected as the supplier of charging lockers for the ‘Green Smart School Smart Device Support Project for Students in Chungcheongnam-do.’ The supply scale is approximately 3 billion KRW, and PadBank will be supplied to elementary, middle, and high schools throughout Chungcheongnam-do.


PadBank is a necessary product for simultaneously charging or safely managing tablets, Chromebooks, Whale Books, and other devices provided to students. Since the second half of last year, Abko has applied FDA medical device-grade sterilizers.


An Abko official stated, "Starting with Chungnam this year, we expect to expand the smart device distribution project of local education offices," adding, "We are expanding nationwide sales targeting 17 cities and provinces including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, Gyeongsang, Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gangwon."
