Since establishing its Middle East branch in 2016, Suprema has secured references supplying access control solutions to government agencies and major companies such as ADNOC, the UAE oil company, Arab National Bank, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (NIC), and the Public Investment Fund (PIF), holding the number one market share. Yoonseok Chae, a researcher at IBK Investment & Securities, said, “There is potential benefit in construction sites and residential access control markets related to the Neom City project,” adding, “The launch of a new facial recognition-based access control solution is also positive.”


The next-generation access control solution, BioStation3, was launched in September. Compared to the existing BioStation2, it offers improved price competitiveness, recognition rate, and scalability, with an added intercom function. It supports various authentication methods including facial recognition, QR and barcode, mobile access cards, and RFID cards.



This year’s expected sales are 90.6 billion KRW, with an operating profit of 18.3 billion KRW. The provisional sales for the third quarter are projected at 21.6 billion KRW, a 23% increase compared to the same period last year. Operating profit is expected to rise 9% to 4.3 billion KRW. Researcher Yoonseok Chae said, “Considering the seasonal performance in the fourth quarter and the full-scale sales of new products, as well as the exchange rate effect, annual sales and net profit this year are expected to break all-time records.”
