CEO Jang stated, "In 2025, Samsung Electro-Mechanics focused on strengthening its high-value product lineup, expanding sales in growth markets such as AI, servers, and automotive electronics, and reinforcing business structure through diversification of clients. As a result, we achieved record-high sales since the company's founding and a 24% increase in operating profit compared to the previous year."

He went on to emphasize, "We will proactively leverage opportunities to expand the adoption of electronic components, such as the large-scale investments in AI by global big tech companies, the accelerated introduction of robotaxis due to advancements in autonomous driving technology, and the full-scale deployment of humanoids. Our goal is to achieve sales growth that exceeds the overall market growth rate."

He concluded, "We will create business opportunities and shift our business structure toward markets centered on differentiated products, such as high-voltage, high-capacity multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) for AI servers, high-reliability, high-temperature MLCCs for electric vehicles, and camera modules for humanoids."

Since 2014, Samsung Electro-Mechanics has been appointing female outside directors to enhance board diversity, maintaining a 50% ratio of female outside directors. In 2016, to strengthen board independence and responsible management, Samsung Electro-Mechanics became the first non-financial Samsung affiliate to appoint an outside director as the chair of the board. Furthermore, to enhance objectivity and transparency, all board committees except the management committee are composed entirely of outside directors.
