Additionally, Samsung Electro-Mechanics introduced its win-win cooperation support programs designed to enhance the practical competitiveness of partners, including financial support, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management consulting, technology protection, and specialized training. Starting this year, Samsung Electro-Mechanics will open up its patents to partners, supporting them in achieving genuine product and technology competitiveness.

Notably, for the first time this year, Samsung Electro-Mechanics organized an exhibition of partner companies' products and technologies. This exhibition was planned as a platform for technical exchange, where partners could share the latest technology trends and explore opportunities for technological collaboration. Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced its intention to actively support both domestic and international market expansion so that outstanding technologies on display can be successfully commercialized.

Chairman Lee stated, "To overcome the uncertain business environment, it is essential for large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises to work together to produce the best products," adding, "We will continue to support mutual growth through close cooperation."

Chairman Kwon remarked, "If Samsung Electro-Mechanics and its partners work closely together, we can grow even in the face of any crisis," expressing hope that "this will serve as an opportunity for everyone to take a leap forward together."

President Jang said, "The sustained high growth of the AI industry and the advancement of autonomous driving systems—areas that Samsung Electro-Mechanics is focusing on—will present significant opportunities," and urged, "Let all partner companies work together to create competitive products with differentiated core technologies."

Samsung Electro-Mechanics currently works with approximately 900 partner companies in South Korea and abroad, ranging from companies with annual sales of 1 billion won to those with over 10 trillion won. Among these, 40 major domestic component suppliers are registered members of the Partners Council, which has a history of nearly 40 years since its establishment in 1986.

Meanwhile, last year Samsung Electro-Mechanics signed an 'Agreement on Strengthening the Partner Company Ecosystem' with the Committee for Shared Growth and partner companies, pledging to provide approximately 200 billion won in support over a three-year period from 2025 to 2027. The company operates support programs such as ▲financial support including win-win funds ▲on-site improvements like productivity enhancement and quality innovation ▲customized capacity-building programs for various technical and organizational levels, and has been recognized for its win-win cooperation achievements by earning the highest grade in the 'Win-Win Growth Index' for two consecutive years.
