On the 2nd, Samsung Electro-Mechanics hosted the '2026 Co-Prosperity Communication Forum' with representatives of partner companies at 'Finetechnology' (located in Yangsan, Gyeongnam), a member company of the Partner Council.

This communication forum was organized to strengthen strategic partnerships with partners amid a rapidly changing market environment in areas such as AI and automotive electronics, and to lay the foundation for mutual growth by securing technological competitiveness through co-prosperity.

The event drew some 40 attendees, including President Chang Duckhyun and other key executives of Samsung Electro-Mechanics along with representatives of partner companies. In particular, to strengthen local on-site communication, Samsung Electro-Mechanics invited not only existing Partner Council member companies but also additional partners from the Gyeongsang region to listen to a wide range of voices from the field. The event consisted of ▲ partner company introductions ▲ a communication session with the CEO of Samsung Electro-Mechanics ▲ a tour of the manufacturing site.

In particular, during the 'CEO Communication Session,' President Chang Duckhyun personally presented the current business status of Samsung Electro-Mechanics and the main business directions for each division. He emphasized the differentiation of component technologies targeting high-growth markets such as AI, servers, and automotive electronics, and stressed the importance of strategic collaboration with partners to overcome the rapidly changing business environment.

In the subsequent Q&A session, in-depth discussions were held with partners on growth strategies, new product roadmaps, and the global market outlook, seeking practical solutions.

President Chang Duckhyun emphasized, "The realization of future industrial technologies is only possible when there is competitiveness in components and materials," and added, "Let's secure core technologies based on close trust and cooperation, and create growth opportunities in the global market."

In response, Kwon Hyukseok, CEO of MK Chem & Tech and chairman of the Partner Council, said, "It is a great encouragement that the management of Samsung Electro-Mechanics visited the manufacturing site in person to share the future vision and listen to voices from the field," and added, "We will continue to build a strong partnership through technological innovation and thorough quality control so that we can lead high value-added markets such as AI and automotive electronics."

After the communication session, President Chang and the partner company representatives toured the manufacturing site of Finetechnology together, checked the processes, and encouraged the on-site employees. Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to continue identifying customized support measures and practical co-prosperity initiatives for partners, reflecting the opinions gathered during this site visit.
