SK Ecoplant is accelerating its semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI)-focused growth strategy by newly integrating group subsidiaries specializing in semiconductor materials.

On December 2, SK Ecoplant announced that it will incorporate four materials subsidiaries under SK Inc. Materials-SK Trichem, SK Resonac, SK Materials JNC, and SK Materials Performance-as its own subsidiaries. In addition, SK Inc. Materials will be renamed SK Ecoplant Materials.

With this integration, SK Ecoplant has secured a value chain spanning from semiconductor materials to infrastructure. The four newly integrated subsidiaries produce advanced materials required for the entire semiconductor manufacturing process-including photo materials, etching gases, deposition, metal wiring, and packaging-as well as for major display processes such as OLED deposition. The combined sales of these four companies last year are estimated at approximately 350 billion won.

Going forward, each subsidiary plans to enhance product development speed and quality competitiveness, while also strengthening supply chain management (SCM) efficiency. They will also work to expand their new materials portfolio for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and next-generation semiconductor core processes. By combining their materials technology with SK Ecoplant's experience in building high-tech infrastructure, the company expects to provide optimal solutions for each process.

In the AI infrastructure sector, SK Ecoplant is also securing new growth engines by participating in the construction of 'SK AI Data Center Ulsan,' the first AI data center in Korea.

An SK Ecoplant representative stated, "The integration of semiconductor materials subsidiaries marks a meaningful turning point for stable and sustainable growth," adding, "By leveraging each company's technology and expertise, we aim to provide differentiated, comprehensive advanced industry services in the global market."
