Actro, a smartphone camera component manufacturer, announced on the 14th that its consolidated sales reached 99.2 billion KRW up to the third quarter of this year, marking a 4% increase compared to the same period last year. Operating profit was 1.18 billion KRW, and net profit for the period was 3.16 billion KRW.


Actro cited the increased demand for Folded-Zoom products installed in customers' high-end models as the key factor for the improved third-quarter performance. Cost reduction through technology investment also contributed to enhancing profitability.


The company expects the positive performance trend to continue into the fourth quarter. An Actro representative stated, "Demand for Folded-Zoom products in models to be released next year is expected to increase," and added, "With sales growth in performance inspection equipment, the performance improvement trend will continue through the fourth quarter."


Currently, Actro is expanding its business areas alongside the recovery of its existing OEM business. The company's two major new businesses are semiconductor inspection equipment and secondary battery materials.


Actro's semiconductor inspection equipment is a terahertz inspection device that uses a non-destructive and non-contact method. They have developed a prototype capable of ultra-precise measurement inside semiconductor packages. This was exhibited at the Semiconductor Exhibition (SEDEX) held last month. The inspection equipment has diverse applications beyond semiconductors, including ultra-precise inspections, and the company is actively conducting promotional activities.


They are also advancing a secondary battery materials and equipment business through graphene coating on silicon-based elements. Actro is developing equipment that can effectively reduce process costs as well as improve anode material performance through silicon graphene coating.



An Actro representative said, "We are continuously driving corporate growth through innovation across various business areas," and added, "Terahertz inspection equipment and silicon coating technology will enhance our competitiveness and serve as important drivers for sustainable growth in the future."
