[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Solus Advanced Materials is strengthening its specialized research and development (R&D) organization for battery foil and copper foil to advance its mid- to long-term R&D roadmap.

On the 19th, Solus Advanced Materials announced that it will expand customer-tailored R&D activities centered on the Korea Central Research Institute, the research organization established last year. The Korea Central Research Institute will take full responsibility as a bridge connecting the CFL research institute located in Luxembourg and domestic customers. Customer needs identified through close support will be reflected in the CFL research institute’s ▲basic technology R&D ▲advanced development ▲process improvement procedures to further enhance R&D competitiveness.

In particular, this year, continuous technical information exchange and mutual cooperation systems will be promoted with major domestic customers such as ▲electric vehicle battery manufacturers ▲semiconductor manufacturers ▲PCB (printed circuit board) manufacturers.

Additionally, efforts will be focused on securing in-house capabilities through hiring high-level personnel and strategic investments to establish a mid- to long-term R&D ecosystem. Through this, next-generation technologies will be secured in fields utilizing battery foil and copper foil as core materials, including ▲electric vehicle batteries ▲semiconductors ▲communication equipment ▲electronic devices ▲metaverse (3D virtual reality) ▲autonomous driving, leading to the development of high-quality new products.

Seo Gwang-byeok, CEO of Solus Advanced Materials, stated, “We expect the synergy effect of R&D to be maximized by combining the 60-year tradition and expertise of the CFL research institute’s global network with the role of the Korea Central Research Institute,” adding, “Through open R&D collaboration between the two research institutes, we will contribute not only to the development of next-generation materials but also to improving the productivity of battery foil and copper foil factories located in Luxembourg, Hungary, and Canada.”
