Espolitech, Operating Profit Turns Positive in First Half... Growth in Sales of Key Products

Engineering plastics specialist Espolitec announced on the 8th that it succeeded in turning a profit in the first half of this year.

Operating profit reached 259 million KRW, and net profit for the period was 2.74 billion KRW, marking a turnaround to profitability compared to the same period last year. During the same period, sales increased by approximately 5.7% to 37.775 billion KRW.

Espolitec, the leading company in the domestic engineering plastics market, manufactures and sells general and specialty PC (Polycarbonate) and PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate) sheets and films. The increase in domestic demand for general-use PC and PMMA products, such as soundproofing materials, roofing materials, construction materials, and interior materials used in construction and civil engineering, led to the turnaround to profitability.

The increase in deliveries of construction and civil engineering materials, continuing from last year through the first half of this year, was a key factor. In the second half of the year, exports of specialty PC films applied to new items such as identification cards and passports are expected to increase, further improving performance.

An Espolitec representative stated, “Active market research and continuous R&D to produce products demanded by the market laid the foundation for turning a profit,” adding, “We will realize full-scale growth by expanding exports with excellent products that combine rational management and innovative technology.”
