EM&I Appoints OLED Expert as Director and Revises Business Objectives

EM&I appointed an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) expert as a new board member and plans to promote the supply of heavy water (D2O) to India next year.

EM&I announced on the morning of the 3rd that at the extraordinary general meeting held at its headquarters in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, it approved ▲ the addition of business objectives ▲ the appointment of directors ▲ the appointment of auditors, among other matters.

The business objectives were expanded to include the manufacturing, processing, and sales of toxic substances and copper-related products. This adjustment was made in consideration of the domestic sale of toxic heavy water. The company is currently promoting the domestic supply of heavy water required for OLED processes from the Heavy Water Committee under the Indian government.

By recruiting OLED experts, EM&I strengthened its commitment to growth in its core business. Experts such as Kim Hye-min as an inside director, Kwon Jang-hyuk as an outside director, and Jin Byung-doo as an outside director were newly appointed.

Director Kim Hye-min currently serves as the head of the OLED sales team, and Director Kwon Jang-hyuk is a professor in the Department of Information Display at Kyung Hee University. EM&I CEO Ko Chang-hoon established a connection with Director Kwon while pursuing his master's degree in OLED at Kwon’s research lab during his tenure at Merck Korea. Director Jin Byung-doo holds a Ph.D. from KAIST and has experience as a researcher at Samsung SDI and a professor in the Department of Polymer System Engineering at Dankook University.

EM&I CEO Ko Chang-hoon said, "We have appointed top-level experts in the industry as new board members," adding, "We expect to achieve significant results in various business divisions linked to our existing operations." He continued, "We will continue mid- to long-term growth through active research and development and collaboration."

CEO Ko added, "We will strive to improve corporate value as promised to our shareholders based on stable management rights and continuous performance improvement," and said, "Starting next year, we are confident in EM&I’s leap forward through the supply of electric motorcycle batteries to India and the import of heavy water."
