The Communication Forum was organized to strengthen technological cooperation with partner companies amid the rapidly changing artificial intelligence (AI) and automotive electronics market environment, as well as to lay the foundation for securing competitiveness and achieving mutual growth through co-prosperity. Samsung Electro-Mechanics expects this event to serve as an opportunity to enhance communication with its partners and improve product competitiveness.


The forum was held on-site at the chair company of the Partner Council, with over 40 representatives from member companies in attendance, including President Jang Deokhyun and other key executives from Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This allowed for a deeper understanding of the partners' on-site situations and further strengthened collaboration.


The event included introductions of partner companies, an awards ceremony for collaborative projects with Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and a communication session with the CEO of Samsung Electro-Mechanics. President Jang personally presented the key strategic directions for each business division and differentiation strategies for each product, and shared the company's vision with partners by introducing future new business projects in automotive electronics, robotics, AI and servers, and energy.


During the subsequent communication session, representatives of the Partner Council and Samsung Electro-Mechanics exchanged various proposals for mutual growth. President Jang provided detailed answers and practical solutions to questions from partners regarding growth strategies and responses to the global market.


President Jang emphasized, "The growth of future industries must be based on component and material technologies," and added, "Let us work closely with our partners to secure core technologies and create new growth opportunities."


Kwon Hyukseok, Chairman of MK Chem & Tech, stated, "Let us move forward together toward the shared goal of co-prosperity," and encouraged, "As partners in mutual growth, let us share the wisdom and capabilities to soar together."


Samsung Electro-Mechanics works with approximately 900 domestic and international partner companies, ranging from those with annual sales of 1 billion KRW (about 1 million USD) to those with over 1 trillion KRW (about 1 billion USD). Among them, 40 major domestic component companies are members of the Partner Council, which has maintained a nearly 40-year history since its establishment in 1986. MK Chem & Tech, which was elected as the chair company of the council this year, has consistently grown in the field of surface treatment for printed circuit boards, semiconductors, and electronic components since its founding in 1996.



Samsung Electro-Mechanics practices a culture of co-prosperity by supporting its partners through co-prosperity funds, productivity and quality improvement, safety and environmental enhancements, and specialized and customized technical training. In addition, last April, the company signed the "Partnership Ecosystem Enhancement Agreement" with the Co-Prosperity Committee and its partners, pledging to provide about 200 billion KRW (about 150 million USD) in support over three years from 2025 to 2027.
