Abko "Last Year's Operating Profit 4.8 Billion KRW... 124% Increase YoY"

Abko announced on the 5th that its operating profit and net profit last year increased by 123.6% and 160% respectively compared to the previous year, reaching 4.8 billion KRW and 4.7 billion KRW. During the same period, sales amounted to 93.4 billion KRW.

The company explained that the expansion of high value-added product lines led to the increase in profit margins. The reduction in selling and administrative expenses due to continuous workforce and cost structure innovations also contributed to the strong performance.

An Abko representative stated, “We plan to export PadBank to overseas markets including Europe and Southeast Asia as well as domestically,” adding, “Although concerns about an economic downturn persist, we will strive to maintain strong performance through expanding the proportion of high value-added products and the PadBank business.”

PadBank, first launched by Abko in 2014, is a smart charging cabinet that can charge and store students’ smart devices used in digital textbook classes such as tablet PCs and laptops all at once. Abko holds about 70% of the domestic market share, and the market continues to grow with the expansion of digital textbook classes.

The company emphasized, “We expect an explosive increase in orders due to the upcoming replacement period of PadBank and the full-scale export expansion,” and added, “We are currently constructing a production plant and logistics center in Gimpo with a land area of approximately 7,000 pyeong and a building area of about 5,000 pyeong, aiming for completion by mid-year.”
