IM announced on the 7th that it has made an investment in QuantumPort through its subsidiary IM Advanced Materials to strengthen its technological competitiveness.


According to IM Advanced Materials, this investment was made to expand its business and discover new materials. IM is promoting mass production of composite copper foil films for secondary battery anodes and high-end flexible copper clad laminates (FCCL). In particular, it is accelerating the introduction of deposition and plating equipment for this business. QuantumPort will participate in the new materials business of IM and IM Advanced Materials and serve as an advisory role.


Since 2016, IM has been actively entering the smart film business, including touch sensor modules and transparent heating films, and this year it is expanding its business area into new materials. The smart film business is expanding into various markets such as automobiles, construction, and ships, in addition to existing touch sensor module products. To foster new promising businesses and achieve specialization, IM spun off the relevant business division and established IM Advanced Materials in 2020.


An IM representative said, "We made an investment in QuantumPort with the goal of business expansion and new material discovery. We will expand opportunities to enter new markets and enhance our technological capabilities to increase competitiveness within the industry."



Meanwhile, IM is also preparing an industry-academic cooperation agreement with Korea University related to perovskite, a material for solar power generation. The core of this agreement is to conduct research on solar power generation films by combining perovskite technology with IM’s film technology.
