Kolon Industries is accelerating its medium- to long-term growth strategy by improving existing operations through efficiency and artificial intelligence transformation while expanding into medical, semiconductor and other high-value materials. The company expects modified polyphenylene oxide, used in copper clad laminate for advanced semiconductor circuit boards, to generate about 200 billion won ($143 million) in sales once expanded equipment reaches full operation. It has also expanded polyurethane artificial leather capacity, commercialized the low-carbon POM product KOCETAL ECO-E and plans to begin mass production for the medical market in the fourth quarter.
