Business

Building on our expertise in inorganic chemicals, we are evolving into a company specialized in
technology-intensive specialty chemicals and IT materials using specialty gas. As a global trader,
we will continue expanding our business areas leveraging our competence accumulated for over 60 years.

Material

Building on our expertise in inorganic chemicals,
we are emerging as a company specialized in technology-intensive
specialty chemicals and IT materials focusing on silicon gas.

The construction project of a nitric acid manufacturing plant is underway in Yeosu to expand manufacturing infrastructure.
We are growing our R&D capacity to develop Nitric Acid derivatives and Specialty Amines for
high-value-added applications such as bio, pharmaceuticals, and personal care.
In addition, we are about to penetrate the semiconductor/display material market as a stepping stone
to leap forward to become a global leader in silicon gas for the secondary cell.

Key Business Areas of Material Department

We are paving our way to the semiconductor and display material market. Furthermore, we are building manufacturing and distribution infrastructures at home and abroad to expand our product portfolio and emerge as a global leader in silicon gas for secondary batteries.

We seek to extend our value chain downstream to advance our inorganic chemical products. We are currently developing Nitric Acid derivatives that have a wide range of applications in promising areas such as eco-friendly businesses, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. We are currently developing specialty chemicals at our in-house R&D center and setting up an overseas R&D center to build a strong foundation for our new business.

We are building a new plant in Yeosu to manufacture 400,000 tons of nitric acid and actively carrying out pre-marketing activities in Asia to maximize operating rates once the new facility starts commercial operation in 2024. On top of that, we will establish a competitive blue ammonia manufacturing facility through business cooperation in North America and solidify our foundation at home and abroad to supply clean ammonia as one of the green energy sources.
